Ultra Premium Soft Timothy Hay

Similar goal, not the same guarantee. Ultra Premium Soft Timothy Hay is graded for a soft, leaf-heavy profile—what many people want when they ask for "third cut."

True third-cut timothy needs a warm spring and a dry, warm fall for a late-season harvest, and that weather pattern is not reliable every year. Instead of promising a specific cutting, we grade each batch to our soft standard.

We also source from high-elevation fields that can produce a softer second cut with thinner stalks and fuller leaves—often very close to the texture shoppers expect from third cut.

Grass hay should be unlimited for most healthy adult herbivores, and it should make up the bulk of the diet.

For adult rabbits 7 months and older and guinea pigs 6 months and older, aim for at least 80% grass hay. For chinchillas older than 1 year, aim for at least 75% grass hay. Younger animals, nursing mothers, and pets with health concerns may need different portions—check with your vet if you're unsure.

Mix the new hay with the old hay over 7–14 days so the change is gradual.

Watch appetite and droppings during the switch. If your pet stops eating or stool looks unusual, slow the transition and contact your vet.

Store hay in a cool, dry place with good airflow—a breathable bag or bin works well.

Avoid sealing hay in plastic long-term; trapped moisture can lead to mold. If hay smells musty, feels damp, or looks unusually dusty or discolored, discard it and open a fresh bag.

Commercial hay from a trusted producer is very low risk for RHDV2, and we monitor official reporting for the regions where we source and pack hay.

We source in Northern California, where there have been no reported RHDV2 cases in our sourcing and warehouse areas to date. Current inventory is from the 2025–2026 growing season in that region. USDA guidance suggests dried virus may remain stable about three months; we follow harvest timing, storage, and handling with that in mind.

For symptoms, vaccines, maps, and what we watch ongoing, see our RHDV2 information hub and the RHDV2 section of our FAQ.

All three are timothy grass hay—the difference is texture. Soft cut is leafier with thinner stems; coarse cut has more stem and fewer tender leaves; medium sits between them.

Ultra Premium Soft Timothy Hay is our softest grade—often the best fit for picky eaters, seniors, and pets with sensitive teeth. Medium or coarse timothy may suit pets that prefer more stem and chew time.
