2nd Cut Timothy Hay, 5 lbs

1. The farmer is very responsive. If you have a question or a problem, google Viking Farmer or go directly to the website (vikingfarmer.com) and send him an email. His response time is pretty impressive (as fast as 17 minutes!) and, understandably, a bit slower during planting/harvest but still excellent. I ask a lot of questions and he has answered them all, with kindness. He cares about the animals and does right by his customers.2. This is a small, family farm so there is more care and control over the crops and the land. And, the farmer has a pet bun!3. He quarantines his hay for RHDV2. Mmmhmm, pretty awesome. I'm so thankful my rabbit is obsessed with his 2nd cut Timothy. She's vaccinated but many aren't and I appreciate that he goes to such extra effort, especially as a small farm, to protect them.4. The hay is consistent box to box and my rabbit is wild for it every time.5. The quality is excellent. Every opened box looks green and smells fresh. I've never found a bug or anything like that. Just now, I opened a new box to photograph for whoever is interested and did not change anything - what you see is what you get (on Nov 30 2021).6. After researching the farm & their certifications, and emailing with the farmer, I feel like a good bun mom feeding this hay (what a relief). Who knew that an unplanned bun I found in my yard could be the source of so much joy, stress and $$$, lol!7. Every bun has their own preferences and that is ok. Who knows how your pet will like this hay so I encourage first time users to give it a try. My girl ate Standlee until she didn't. So we tried every brand and type we could get our hands on (all the regulars and a bunch of obscure ones, too) - Oxbow, Small Pet Select, Rabbit Hole, Kaytee, Tractor Supply stuff, Blue Mountain, different boxes of Standlee, the list goes on and on (like 20 different brands and types). I would open a new box or bag and hold out the greenest, best looking piece I could find. She either took it in her mouth and flung it aside or wouldn't even touch it, thumped and hopped away. We made a lot of donations to local rabbit/pet rescues! I got our first box of VF (totally desperate) and she pushed me out of the way (feisty creature) when I was opening it, shoved her head in and started chomping away, massive wads going into her little mouth.8. She's healthy, sassy and her poops look great!I hope it works for you and you love it as much as we do!

This is lovely hay! It's clean (no dust) with some chaff. There were a decent amount of hay heads in the box. The guinea pigs really love this hay and zoomies entailed every time I added to the hay bin. The hay is a nice dark green with some brown or gold stems. I did find a couple weeds in my box, a sprig of clover and some plantain leaves, both of which are edible for piggies and did not concern me. There were zero "sticker" weeds or dirt clumps which was fantastic. The grass was as whole as possible so while there were some patches of smaller pieces, most of the box was whole grass strands. I have seen ALL the hays and this is by far the nicest I've found! LUXURY HAY. The price at the time of this review ($30 ish) is a good price for such nice hay in a 5lb case and in line with competitive brands which sell similar style of hay quality.

I have a very finicky bunny, and he absolutely loved this hay over all others. It was so delightful to see how excited he got when he saw the hay coming his way. That was last year, we had great success & I bragged to all my bunny friends about this product. Fast forward to this year. I know it’s seasonal, but when the 2d cut became available at the time of year I originally bought it, I jumped on ordering another 5 lb box. It’s terrible, and my bunny wants nothing to do with it. To me, it looks and smells like Sweet Meadow brand, which in my opinion, it’s only value would best be for a birds nest!

My experience with this 2nd cutting hay has been around 15 purchases. Two out of every three are great, fresh and green. The one of three is bad though, so bad that my rabbit refuses to even lay near it. Unfortunately, my order from last week is a dud. I'm just tossing it in the trash and purchasing another box.Hay is generally very inconsistent, and I'm happy to continue purchasing as long as at least 2 out of 3 boxes are the greatness expected.

My 2 rabbits started eating a lot more hay since I made this purchase. I've had the box for about a month and it's still about 85% full. The hay is very green, soft, and fluffs out. The retail hay I use to get was hit and miss, mainly miss. It was brown, hard, and dangerously sharp. I would have bad allergy attacks when feeding my rabbits prior. Even when wearing a mask and using a bag over my hand to grab the hay. The dust would linger in the air. I do not have that problem at all with this new hay. I grab it with my hands and don't wear a mask and have zero allergy issues when feeding my buns.

I got a great batch of this hay before, but this box was a dusty mess of short pieces with a lot of brown. Their alfalfa is the best there is, but my boys have aged past alfalfa being good for them. Good Timothy hay is so hard to find, and the first box was definitely what I was looking for. This last box was a huge disappointment so I am very reluctant to try it again for how expensive it is.

Pet Netherland Dwarfrabbit, 1.25 years oldThis is the only Timothy hay he actually eats, tried multiple brands.Box has brilliant little cutouts to hold it closed after opening = sooo smart.2nd cut Timothy hay from viking farmer is his jam, he loves it (not the browner ones). It was very difficult to find a hay he liked when transitioning to adulthood and now we have one we KNOW he will eat.Rabbit really didnt like Timothy hays from pet shop, fleet farm, even a different but similar company, they are too woody for his taste.Lot a rabbit owners don't have picky eaters, well we do, so this worked. Worth a try if youre struggling to find a good fit for a picky eater!

I never ever write reviews. You couldn't force me to. This stuff is that good! It's so fresh and beautiful and the bunnies stole it from my hands as I loaded their feeder. It's a little more expensive, but you get what you pay for and then some.

Third times purchased from this supplier. Hay good quality fresh green leaves , my bunny loves it.
