Small Pet Select 3rd Cutting Super Soft Timothy Hay, Picky Eaters, 2 lb

I used to just get hay at the pet store for my rabbits, but they've always been picky about hay and never liked it when it was hard, green, and stiff. They will throw more than half of it in their litter box and we just throw it away when I have to give them that. I used to get it soft like 2nd-3rd cut half the time, and half the time it was the hard green stuff but recently, they stopped selling anything else aside from first cut it seems. The brand I bought didn't sell other cuts, so I don't know what happened or why the hay just stopped being soft ever, but it became a real problem, because I was spending a lot of money on hay, and my bunnies wouldn't even eat the majority of it. I was a little worried when I read the reviews and saw that a lot of people said the larger sizes weren't any good, because I definitely needed a larger size, but for the price I figured it was still worth it to try. I paid the same amount for 20 lbs of this that I would spend on 5lbs of the hay they don't eat. It was perfect! There were a couple little weeds in it but nothing that effected the overall quality or was bothersome. First cut is always a little dusty, but again, not a problem. They now eat ALL of their hay, and I'm getting way more for way less money! Everyone wins! I wish they would sell it in stores, but I'll definitely continue to buy this from now on. Even if I do get a bad batch here and there it's worth it for the reasonable cost and nice quality of the hay. And another plus, I don't have to wear gloves to feed them anymore either! The other hard green hay used to actually cut my hands up. My hands are sensitive. I always had to wear gloves. This is so soft, it doesn't poke in the slightest. If you have picky hay-eaters, I would highly recommend this, and I know my rabbits would too!

Great for a picky chinchilla. We used to get normal hay from the pet store, but he'd just throw 50% of it around his cage and use it like a litter pile. He eats all of this hay with no issue, very worthwhile and should last at least a month. It's softer on the hands than the normal hay aswell, and smells quite fresh.

My elderly Holland Lop, Chumley, recently lost his bond mate this year. As he is getting older and was never one to eat hay except socially I was worried about his health. Only pellets was not going to be a lasting solution, and he was chewing on fine straw particles to get his roughage. When I offered him this, even with his occasionally sore mouth (yes he gets regular vet care) he will happily sit in the sunshine and munch again. Anything that makes his golden years pleasant for him is fantastic in my book. The quality is always there, the hay is soft, green, and easy for him to eat. It's not for healthy young rabbits - 3rd cutting is a treat or best for older or in some way impaired bunnies and I am endlessly grateful I can get it for my old man.

I never leave reviews for the hay i buy but i think its time for one. I've had 4 guinea pigs for over 5+ years and i've tried all types of hay from many websites/retail stores. When the hay is good (good quality) this is a very good buy but when the hay is bad (bad batch) guinea pigs wont touch this. This is bad quality hay that i recieved today. I pray whoever is new to owning/having guinea pigs knows the difference between green hay and brown hay and that guinea pigs should not be fed brown colored hay. It's the equivalent of a rotten apple or tomotoe at the store which you would never eat or give to a friend/relative unless you wanted to get sick. Guinea pig hay should always be green. you will never find me giving my guinea pigs brown hay like this. Also this is 3rd cutting which was supposed to be leafy and soft but its like sticks. The difference between actually leafy hay and the stick kind is that leafy hay is extremely soft and flexible. The stick type is very hard and you can barely bend it. I've grabbed stick hay before and it hurt my hand (while cleaning) and i wonder if guinea pigs ever get hurt touching this either with thier feet/body etc....anyway... I have ordered 3rd cutting hay in the past and for the most part i did get soft leafy green hay which my guinea pigs love. But this is whats referred to as a bad batch.

Finally, some Timothy hay that is actually soft and leafy. I have had a hard time finding soft hay, and my Chinchilla really enjoys this stuff so far. Some of the other brands advertise as soft but are not.

My Sulcata Tortoise is quite picky. There's a feed store nearby where I've purchased hay in the past, but he doesn't really like it. There is natural grass outside that he eats, but it dries up by summer. Grass/hay should be 90% of their diet so I am glad he relishes this stuff. He goes through a big pile of it every day. This hay is a little more expensive, obviously, but it's worth it. I will continue to buy it as long as it's available.

When my bunny had a broken tooth, I felt terrible watching him chew on his normal hay just to spit it out because he couldn’t break it down easily. I started to get nervous about his stomach health when he went several days without consuming hay and only eating other softened foods. As soon as I opened the box of third cutting hay, he jumped in and began eating! As his tooth began to grow in, I started mixing in other hays, but he definitely seems to prefer the taste of this hay and often eats it by the mouthful. The price is higher than I normally pay for hay, but as a temporary measure to get him eating again I was okay with it. One other thing to note is that I have noticed that his poops are smaller, darker, and harder when he eats only this hay. Third cutting Timothy hay is higher in protein and lower in fiber than first or second cut, so it is probably best not to feed this hay long term as rabbits need a high-fiber diet. I started mixing in second cut hay and saw improvements in his poops. In summary, this hay is great for buns with tooth issues but may have drawbacks if used long term.

We have five rabbits and four of them vote this "Tastiest Timothy Hay Yet". We have purchased full bales of Timothy and they eat it...but they absolutely devour this. We have tried 2nd cutting, 1st cutting boxes. We have tried bagged hays of various sorts. For daily feeding, this is our #1 go to. Not the cheapest, but it seems to entice rabbits to eat more hay. Looks green and smells fresh, as hay ought. Oh, rabbits #5 agrees this hay is good, but suggests any hay needs some fresh dandelions or rose petals thrown on top if she's to get excited about it.

Very soft hay. Rabbit loves it. Now prefers this to first cut which is more ‘spikey’ although he still likes the seed heads. Although he doesn’t have teeth problems, he is getting older.

Mon cochon d'Inde, malade, ne s'alimentait plus et était gavée au Critical Care. Nous avions peur pour l'usure de ces dents. Ce foin, plus tendre, a été un miracle car elle a accepté de le manger malgré ses douleurs. Qualité exceptionnelle, tout est mangé, aucune perte. Ma guinea pig was sick and wouldn't eat. We gave her Critical Care but were fearing that she would have a tooth problem from not eating hay. This hay is a miracle. Very soft, it was easy to eat despite the pain she was in. The best quality out there, everything will be eaten, no waste.

My guinea pigs and rabbits loved this and it lasted a long time good quality, value for money ect.

This hay is so green! I wanted to put some on a salad to eat myself! Smells lovely. My Guinea Pigs are loving it. No dust and there's so much in the box, it will last a while as they have it in racks. I use meadow hay for bedding as they love to "rummage". They can also nibble on that too. Very Pleased, will definitely buy again and highly recommend to keep Guinea Pigs happy and healthy

Very dusty,dark brown strands,certainly won't buy again and returning ASAP...guineas won't touch it! Going back to knibble and knaw...
