Small Pet Select3Rd Cutting "Super Soft" Timothy Hay Pet Food, 2 Lb., green, 2 Pound (Pack of 1), 32 Ounce

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 was actually impressed with how green and fresh the hay was when I felt it. Guinea pig and rabbit like it. Good deal!

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 kind of hay was green and fresh but also very crunchy. It's a good thing for our bun buns to wear their teeth down on.

I've been using Small Pet Select hays for several years for my nearly 12 year old bunny. It varies which cutting he prefers but because of his age he seems to prefer the softer Third cut timothy hay. Clean and good quality hay. I'm very picky about hay having purchased hay for years for my horses and my rabbit. It makes a big difference in their digestive health. The boxes work well for small pet use.

I have a very picky Holland Lop. We used to get her hay straight from a local farm and then they closed up and moved away. We then had no choice but to get her store bought hay. She absolutely hated each and every type we bought directly in store or online from Amazon and would refuse to eat it. That was until we discovered small pet select hay. We first tried small pet select premium ultra soft hay which she enjoyed, but she was going through it so quickly and the price for the small bag didn’t fit our budget. I saw an ad for this 3rd cutting Timothy hay and decided to give it a try. She is in love with this 3rd cutting Timothy hay and eats it constantly! She’s always munching on it. The price and size are very reasonable too. Definitely try this if you have a picky rabbit.

I've been purchasing Timothy Hay (3rd Cutting) from Small Pet Select for the past 5 years and for the most part, it has been the best on the market. Super soft leaves, mostly green in color, and nere a weed. My last three 10 lb boxes have been nothing like what I'm used to. They've contained predominantly brown leaves throughout and are filled with the harder stems you'd find in the 1st or 2nd Cutting which causes so much waste because my pigs won't eat it.In my most recent box that I received last week, I was so happy when I opened it because it appeared to be like the earlier boxes I'd purchased with mostly soft, green leaves on top. Imagine my surprise when I reach in to grab a handful for my pigs and my fingers are stuck by thistle thorns. I figured maybe it was a random one-off weed, but no. This box has so many thorny leaf clusters/stems and prickly seed heads. I try to carefully pick through the hay to avoid all of the prickly bits when it's feeding time, but inevitably I end up with tiny needle thorns stuck in my fingertips and under my fingernails. It's not pleasant. At this point, I should probably just sort through the entire 10 lb box so I can avoid stabbing myself multiple times each day. I can't imagine these needle-like thorns would be safe for the delicate tissues on guinea pig's feet or their mouths?
