No, hay does not have enough nutrients to keep a rabbit healthy. Hay is a very important part of the diet, but rabbits also need vitamins and minerals. Also, only hay to eat every day would get pretty boring, and bored rabbits tend to be aggressive, depressed, destructive, and have other behavioral problems.
To get the right balance of nutrients, rabbits need a high-quality pellet developed especially for rabbits. You can't substitute these with anything else, like food for another animal, or food made for humans. Not all rabbit pellets are healthy, though: you have to learn how to read the labels.
To add variety to your rabbit's diet, and to give them fresh foods (which also have healthy nutrients in them), rabbits also need fresh vegetables and fruits. Mostly, they should only eat dark leafy greens (like romaine lettuce, basil, and carrot tops). Non-leafy vegetables and fruits (like carrot, berries, and apple) are a good treat. Too many treats will make a rabbit sick, so a bite or two per day is enough.
