this is 2nd cut hay.
check the website for hay. its fresh good hay not like the dry, hard stems and exensive hay at petsores.

FIRST CUTTING TIMOTHY HAY
1st CUTTING is called "first" because it is the hay that is harvested earliest in the growing season. It has a lighter green color and is a more mature and coarser hay with stems and seed heads. Hay is the most important part of a rabbit's diet, and 1st CUTTING is generally preferred for Bunnies and Rabbits. Vets recommend that rabbits be allowed as much timothy grass hay as they want, to prevent stasis, for weight control and for proper teeth maintenance and because it satisfies your pet's gnawing instincts. 1st CUTTING Timothy Hay is slightly lower in nutrition, plus slightly higher in fiber; and therefore may assist in controlling obesity. Hay characteristics differ from year to year. Hay is a product "Grown", not manufactured, so ultimately Nature decides the final characteristics of the product through artifacts like growth rate and harvest schedules/opportunities. 1st CUTTING hay is a lighter color than 2nd CUTTING , and there may be some yellow/brown as the grasses grow taller and maturity continues. This is Natural and is NOT harmful to your pet in any way. FarmerDave will NOT add coloration to make it look more appealing to the human eye. FarmerDave's 1st CUTTING includes the standard Timothy Hay plus a slight mix of legacy grasses (example: Orchard, Blue Grass, etc), and sometimes a touch of clover stems and buds. There is an abundance of 2 to 4 inch timothy seed heads that you pets will find tasty and delightful. 1st cut Timothy Hay may be stored for many months, and even up to a year when kept in a consistently cool/cold place that is dry and not in the light.


SECOND CUTTING TIMOTHY HAY
2nd CUTTING is called "second" because it is the hay that is harvested after 1st CUTTING and after the hay has re-grown. The yield per acre is lower for 2nd because timothy hay is a cool season grass (that is why it grows well up North) with slower growth as the summer gets hotter. It takes more time, effort and gentle care to make 2nd CUTTING hay correctly. 2nd CUTTING Timothy Hay has a darker green color and is a more leafy and more tender hay with higher levels of nutrition. 2nd CUTTING Timothy Hay is predominantly green in color but may be mixed with a touch of yellow/brown depending on the weather and growing conditions. This Is Natural And NOT Harmful To Your Pets In Any Way. This year's 2nd CUTTING Timothy Hay crop is a greener and wider leafed hay, compared to last years crop. 2nd CUTTING is preferred by most hay eating small animals (Bunnies, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Chinchillas, Gerbils, Hamsters, Mice, Rats, Tortoises). Our 2nd CUTTING Timothy Hay is more of a premium specialty hay that is harder to find for purchase than 1st Cutting. 2nd cut Timothy Hay may be stored for many months, and even up to a year when kept in a consistently cool/cold place that is dry and not in the light.

SECOND CUTTING TIMOTHY HAY AND CLOVER
2nd CUTTING WITH CLOVER is very similar to Regular 2nd CUTTING, "but" with a smattering of nice Clover Buds and Clover Stems. 2nd CUTTING WITH CLOVER provides the leafy hay that small animals prefer but with the addition of stems that are good for the teeth and chewing instinct, and also with the clover buds for a tasty treat. Bunnies and Rabbits especially like chewing the clover stems.

Pellets:
I use LM animal Farm, they love it more than oxbow.

I check out his site I think I am gonna order some hay from him I think in one of your previous vids you mentioned you buy the 2nd cut hay? How long does it take for dilevery?

[gracelovechristian]

@emostars71 well it depends on your location, it only takes 3days for me. shipping depends on your hay weight and delivery depends on your zipcode . 10lbs $8 shipping. they consume it for 3 weeks.

[gracelovechristian]

yup, thanks. all it takes to potty train them is the water bottle. that will do the trick ;) you should try.

[emostars71]
