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

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!

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!

The last order was grass not hay. The box before that had nothing but sticker bushes in it. I tossed it for that reason. So when it is $100 a box. I’ve know hay since I grew up on a farm in Murdock Nebraska. We never sold this and wouldn’t have no matter what. I ordered from Oxbow until it was so dusty my rabbits started having to visit their Vet. Allergies cost me more that a month of hay. I have loved Pet Select until now. I’m hoping this message makes a change. If this next is bad that will be the end. Please let me know if this is it there will be no change. I can’t afford to trash the $$

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.

Perfect for my nesting mama rats

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'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?

This item was purchased to be used as bedding for baby bunnies as it claims to be super soft. It's not. I question if this really is third cut timothy hay. I don't feel I received the quality that I paid for. I won't be buying this again.
