Small Pet Select 3rd Cutting Timothy Hay, Animal Food for Guinea Pig, Rabbit, Hamster, Bunny, or Chinchilla, Natural Hay Grown in The USA, 5lb

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!

I've been searching for this type of hay. It's 3rd cut so is soft and green, for the most part. Our pigs don't like the hay that has a more dried hay quality- won't eat it so a waste of money. I give them pressed Timothy hay cubes to ensure their teeth stay "trimmed." I will order this over and over... excellent quality and price. THANK YOU from our house hippos! ❤️🐹

I had to contact customer service and Becky immediately solved my problem and was understanding that I hadn't opened the box for a while after getting it because I try and make sure I have a new box before my old one runs out. I'll never use a different company to get my hay, I've ordered for over four years and this was the first issue I've had with delivery. The third cutting timothy hay is always soft and perfect for my special needs bunny who has no front teeth! Keeps him healthy and happy.

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.

This third cutting hay lived up to its promise to be extra soft. It was also very fresh and green with few brown strands. My guinea pigs are very happy girls!

This is my bunnies favorite hay! I have a special needs bunny and this is perfect for her, my buns refuse any other brand of hay in favor of this one. It’s always great quality and my bunnies are always pleased with the freshness and softness of the hay! This is their reaction to a fresh box!

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.

Small Pet Select is the BEST brand. The quality of their products are clean, incredible quality and I trust their products for my bunnies, plus they are in the USA!

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

My bunny and I are so happy to see Amazon sell this brand of Timothy hay again. I used to buy the Oxbow brand when I couldn't get a hold of hay from this company anymore, but the Oxbow hay has become such low quality nowadays that my rabbit refused to eat it. But this hay he totally loves!! Thanks Amazon for bringing back this brand of hay again! About the hay, it truly is a super soft hay but since it's lower in fiber I combine it with the 2nd cut hay also from Small Pet Select. Both hay types from SPS is of good quality with long strands of hay that feels and smells very fresh compared to Oxbow hay.

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.

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.

While I only received this hay today it is already the best one yet. My little bun is a bit of a fussy one and knows what he likes! I have only had him a couple of months and have been trying very hard to increase his hay intake and this stubborn guy was having none of it. I had tried nearly every type of hay I could find in town to a total 4 different kinds and suppliers and still he would only nibble on it here and there but not really loving it. This Timothy hay is truly the best so far. As soon as I opened the box he hopped right in and started chomping down. Again yes it has only been a day but he is LOVING it for sure. His hay intake today has been the best so far. This came quite quickly and is the freshest of all the hay we have tried. So I think the search is officially over! We have a winner folks!
