"My guinea pig, Phoebe, is the pickiest eater on the planet and would ignore every hay I bought. But she absolutely devours this 3rd Cutting Timothy! I was worried about her weight, and since switching, I've noticed she's eating constantly and looks much healthier. The texture is so incredibly soft and leafy—it's clearly easier for her to eat. It's the only hay I buy now."

"My guinea pigs go crazy for this hay! The moment I open the box, they start wheeking and popcorn all over. It’s soft, fresh, and smells amazing — nothing like the dusty bags I used to buy at the pet store. I’ve noticed their digestion is better and their teeth are wearing down naturally. I feel so much better knowing I’m giving them the quality hay they deserve."

Why Standard Hay Isn’t Always Enough
Many small pets—especially those with sensitive mouths or dental issues—will refuse to eat the stemmy, coarse parts of standard 2nd cutting Timothy hay. This selective eating leads to serious health risks by reducing overall fiber intake and causing dangerous nutrient deficiencies. That’s why switching to this ultra-soft, highly palatable cut matters

Frequently Asked Questions
Find the answers you need right here.
What pets is 3rd Cutting Timothy Hay best for?
Third Cutting Timothy Hay is safe for rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas of all ages. It is especially recommended for:
Picky eaters who refuse stemmy hay.
Pets who need to gain weight (due to its higher protein/fat).
Pets with dental pain or sensitive mouths.
How does 3rd Cut compare to 2nd Cut Timothy Hay?
3rd Cutting is the softest, leafiest, and has the least amount of stems, making it ideal for picky or sensitive pets. 2nd Cutting is the standard, balanced hay with a mix of soft leaves and firm stems, perfect for general adult dental wear.
How much 3rd Cut should I feed my pet?
Hay should be available to your pet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Never let your pet run out. Provide an amount roughly the size of your pet’s body at least twice a day.
Is 3rd Cut safe for everyday use?
Yes. Although it's higher in protein and fat than 2nd cut, it is still a low-calcium grass hay and an excellent source of daily fiber. It is safe and beneficial for most adult small pets, especially if they are selective eaters or need help maintaining weight.
How should I store the hay to keep it fresh?
Store your hay in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. A cardboard box or any breathable container is best. Avoid sealing it tightly in plastic as this can trap moisture and cause mold.
What if my pet is currently eating 2nd Cut hay?
You can mix a small amount of the softer 3rd Cut into their current hay to encourage them to eat more. The irresistible texture and aroma often encourages a faster switch!
What if my pet doesn’t like it?
We are confident your pet will love our premium hay. It's backed by our Picky Pet Promise. If your pet doesn't love it, please contact us for a solution or a refund under our satisfaction guarantee.
