Our fresh and green Second Cut Timothy Hay is known for its long thin stems, short seed heads, and broad flat leaves.
After the first seasonal harvest of Timothy Hay, known as First Cut, the hay regrows softer and is harvested again as Second Cut. Depending on the growing season First Cut Timothy Hay is harvested in late spring, leaving Second Cut Timothy Hay to be harvested in late summer.
Second Cut Timothy Hay is a softer hay that has thinner stems and larger leaves, making it easier for small pets to eat. It’s particularly good for aging rabbits as it is on the softer side, but still meets the nutrition requirements to maintain their dental and digestive health.
The 2019 Ultra Premium Second Cut Timothy Hay we have in stock is currently a second cut, and we’ve given it a 8.5/10. We hand-selected this batch because we knew it would be what you and your pet were looking for in a Second Cut Timothy Hay. It checks off all the boxes for quality Second Cut Timothy Hay and has a small amount of brown leaf. The farmers did a great job this year! Want the full Second Cut Timothy Hay Report? Click here.
Grass hay is an important staple in the diet of rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas. For rabbits 7 months and older and guinea pigs 6 months and older, grass hay should make up 80% of their diet. For chinchillas older than a year, grass hay should make up 75% of their diet. The constant foraging and grazing encouraged by hay helps to keep them physically active and mentally stimulated. It also helps to wear down their teeth while the long strand fiber helps to keep their digestion regular and functioning properly.
