Hay Help! Online To The Usa

As far as 1st, 2nd and 3rd cuts of timothy hay offered by the fancier places, Small Pet Select offers a good summary. The TL;DR version:

First cut hay is cut before the hay blooms. It is very stemmy, very high in fiber but low in protein and fat. It's a good choice for an animal that needs to lose weight.

Second cut hay is leafier than first cut, with some blooms. It has a good amount of fiber, protein and fat. It's considered the "best of both worlds", and most people recommend this hay for most adult animals.

Third cut hay is very leafy and soft. It is low in fiber and high in protein and fat. It is "rich" hay, very nutrient rich, which can make your pets obese. It's a good hay for elderly pets, those that need to gain weight, to mix in with other hay to encourage eating, or as "treat" hay.

I'd be interested in hearing how good the 20lb size is. I saw a few comments online saying the quality in the larger size boxes is bit inconsistent. But if it's pretty close to the quality I got from the 10lb box, which is so good that I almost want to eat it myself, then I might have to go for volume pricing in the future.

So I got the box in this morning... It looks great! Nice and green and smells so good! Also didn't kick up my allergies like some of them do... And my piggies are gobbling it up! So I would definitely say it's worth it! Shipping took 2 days and comes in a big box... I'm very happy with it and it appears so are my boys! Thank you all so much for the suggestions!

Awesome! I will definitely have to check into the larger boxes when my current stash runs out.
