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 2018 Second Cut Timothy Hay we have in stock right now is amazing quality, we’ve given it a 9/10. It has a typical second harvest consistency with long thin stems, short seed heads, and broad flat leaves. It has a deep green color that is typical of a quality second harvest and there is little to no brown leaf in it.
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.
Tired of wasting time picking through bad hay just to find the bits your rabbit, guinea pig, or chinchilla will actually eat? We visually inspect and hand-pack every package of hay to ensure that you get fresh, green, fragrant hay of the highest quality. Your hay is always hand-processed, never machine-cut, creating nice long strands and less small pieces. You’ll no longer have to worry about your small pet suffering from irritated eyes or sneezing from excessive dust. We preserve freshness by bagging all of our hay inside the box. This helps keep it from drying out or absorbing unwanted odors.
