2nd Cutting Perfect Blend Timothy Hay Pet Food for Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Chinchillas and Other Small Animals, Premium Natural Hay Grown in The US, 20 LB

This hay is great ! My bunnies never seemed interested in the hay I was giving them & I never saw them eat it. But when I gave them this hay they ate it right away - & a lot of it ! I was so happy since good hay is very important to their diet. The hay is much heartier & fresher than the hay in stores. Thank you for the good quality !

My bunnies love this hay. They don’t waste it as much as they do with regular Timothy grass. The second cut is on point! The color looks fresh. The texture of it is soft enough and not too firm and the bunnies seem to love the taste. My favorite part about this boxes is that it’s not so packed in stuffed tight that I can’t pull out the hay (unlike oxbow who drives me nuts I can’t pull the hay out it’s so overstuffed packed too tight). This is safe for my bunnies to use then I know the only ingredient is Timothy hay. We haven’t found any weird things in our box. Some people find smooshed mice or rocks in other brands, but we haven’t found anything concerning.

Excellent hay, my bunnies love it. Very fresh!

BEST Timothy hay for our adult guinea pigs! Arrives well packed in a sturdy box which opens and closes easily to keep the hay fresh. Second cutting was recommended by our exotic pet veterinarian for our pets. This hay is the best value for the price and arrives at your doorstep. It keeps them happy and healthy, and is a necessity for their daily diet.

Hi small pet owners! I typically do not write reviews but I feel like I had to this time in hopes of helping someone out. I have been ordering this hay more consistently since October 2024. I have gone through a few 10 pound boxes and I have noticed the quality of hay diminishing. It’s very hard, brown, dusty and smells “old” if that makes sense. I have kept ordering it because I believe in Small Pet Select and I love what they stand for. Plus, my guinea pig in the past loved their hay and my bunny seems to have enjoyed the first box. The most recent box I have (see pictures) has so much brown, old, stale hay. But I thought it just came like that, UNTIL I found out that there is a major difference from ordering through Amazon compared to ordering from Small Pet Select DIRECTLY (see pictures). I am pet sitting for my brother and I noticed that his box of hay barley has any brown and it’s so lush, green and sweet smelling. That’s when he told me that he orders directly from Small Pet Select instead of Amazon. I WAS FLOORED and also extremly disappointed in this multi billion dollar company. Our pets deserve the best and if Amazon cannot provide their customers with the same quality as the original retailer then there’s a problem. If you made it this far then I hope you will join me in no longer ordering hay through Amazon and instead order directly from the source, in this case, Small Pet Select. It may be more expensive but the quality is worth it. Please, take it from someone that has made the mistakes so you wouldn’t have to. I was watching an ad yesterday (June 20, 2025) and saw that you can get 10% off hay from Small Pet Select by using this code: Hay10. Our pets are part of our family and should be treated as so. Best of luck small pet owners and please learn from my mistakes. —— Sincerely, A Bun Dad

Looked and smelled fine to me but the bunny prefers her usual brand. Did not want to eat this.

Plenty of food for my rabbits at a great value and stores easily

When I first got my bunny as a baby I was feeding him alfalfa hay along with other veggies and a few pellets - he was already eating regular food. The thing with the alfalfa hay is that he was picking out the softer stuff and leaving behind the "sticks", so when it came time to invest in hay my first purchase from SPS was 3rd cutting because it is "softer" - so I bought the 40lb box. I have done farm work in the past and I know about hay. My first impression was of how there was so much brown and so little green. I thought that would change as I used the hay but it didn't change much, and it turns out as an adult my bunny preferred the crunchier stuff. That wasn't a problem because there was plenty of crunchy stuff, but then we came to the last 1/3 of the box, which was all shreds, fluffy stuff and dusty stuff. I needed to buy more hay, and now knowing he prefers the crunchier stuff, I chose to purchase the 25lb box of second cutting from SPS. Wow! It was like night and day! 100% green, highly compressed (the top of the box was bulging when I got it) and the bunny absolutely loves it and is now eating more hay. I didn't even keep going with the old box, and I think this 25lb box is going to last longer than the bigger one! I have nothing to complain about with my purchase of second cutting, and have since found out that most bunnies are fed second cutting unless they are older and need softer hay, or picky eaters. The thing I know about 3rd cutting is that it is the one MOST affected by summer - whether there are dry conditions and for how long, etc. This product came perfectly packed, UPS dropped it a day early, and the quality of the hay is top notch. I will probably stick with this brand and second cutting now for the foreseeable future, and would recommend Small Pet Select.
