          Their favorite is American Pet Diner Timothy Gold (that’s the second cutting). I also give them Zupreem Timothy and Oxbow Botanical, which is Timothy with flowers and herbs mixed in. And they get Oxbow orchard grass and Oxbow organic meadow hay.

            His favorite is also the APD second cut timothy, but he also goes for the Binky Bunny Bunny Blend hay.

              Sunny must be one picky bun. It seems like whenever I get a new hay for him to try, he of course either likes it or doesn’t. If he likes it, I buy more, usually a bigger size….THEN, he either won’t eat it, or picks through it so much that there’s a ton of waste. His favorite atm is meadow grass. He has apd timothy gold but wastes a lot of it. I don’t know if it’s because he’s picky, or if it’s because some of it isn’t “good”.

                    Oxbow! But he prefers the smaller bag to the big bag. I think they may be different cuts or the bug bag came from a stiffer batch but he’s leaving more waste than he usually does.

                          I think hay is always going to vary by season and weather conditions. Generally I’ve been pleased with American Pet Diner 2nd cutting and KMS Haylofts hays (2nd & 3rd cut). But really you never ever can tell how a crop is going to be. But those 2 are my go to distributors.

                                They need hay in general, doesn’t necessarily have to be Timothy. Mine get oat hay and I know a lot of people here feed orchard grass.

                                  Hm.. mines don’t care which brand or which kind of hay but deep down, one of mine is really a piggy =).
                                  I choose hay based on my own preference. Different brands of hay actually feels different when contacting my hands. Could be the way they pack it of cut it rather than the hay itself though.
