## Description

Timothy hay is an integral part of your small pet’s diet. It provides the necessary fiber to help prevent GI Stasis, wears down ever-growing teeth to protect against dental problems, and contains nutrients to keep your pet healthy and happy. Pets that thrive with Timothy hay include rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and even tortoises. 80% of your friend’s diet should be high-quality hay to promote dental and digestive health. With all of the benefits of fresh hay, it can be difficult when our small friends turn up their noses at standard cuts of hay. We sourced this less common blend of 3rd cut Timothy hay for a specialty blend with more leaf and less stem. This super soft variety is not a given when growing hay and is more of a gift from nature. The soft, tasty nature of this variety is perfect for enticing picky eaters to enjoy the healthy benefits of hay without the stress. It is also a great option for caring for sick or aging rabbits or other pets. Our Timothy hay is grown in the US. Small Pet Select takes pride in being a member of the small pet community. We know and love our small friends and hand-pack boxes to make sure that your little buddies get exactly what they know and love. Because our boxed hay is carefully packed by hand, it maintains the integrity of the hay and leaf better than products compressed in plastic that are typically found in stores while minimizing dust that can bother people who are sensitive to grass allergens. Rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas should be offered fresh hay daily. This is particularly important to keep it smelling fresh (and yummy!). In addition to pets that require hay in their diet, others can benefit from Timothy hay to nest and play in, including hamsters, gerbils, mice, rats, ferrets and more. Regular deliveries of premium boxed hay from Small Pet Select are a convenient way to keep pets happy and thriving.

Review: PERFECT FOR PICKY BUNNIES - 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!
Review: Excellent Soft Green Hay - I've been searching for this type of hay. It's 3rd cut so is soft and green, for the most part. Our pigs don't like the hay that has a more dried hay quality- won't eat it so a waste of money. I give them pressed Timothy hay cubes to ensure their teeth stay "trimmed." I will order this over and over... excellent quality and price. THANK YOU from our house hippos! ❤️🐹

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing hay, amazing employees
*by J***S on December 30, 2025*

I had to contact customer service and Becky immediately solved my problem and was understanding that I hadn't opened the box for a while after getting it because I try and make sure I have a new box before my old one runs out. I'll never use a different company to get my hay, I've ordered for over four years and this was the first issue I've had with delivery. The third cutting timothy hay is always soft and perfect for my special needs bunny who has no front teeth! Keeps him healthy and happy.
