Yes, Bluegrass is okay and I have ordered from Kleenmama and they have good quality hay. I think you can even get mixtures (1/2 bluegrass and 1/2 timothy) sometimes which is good for variety.

I might suggest that you get a small amount just to make sure your rabbits do like this hay before you invest in a large quantity. Rabbits can be very picky about the hay they like.

That’s lucky that the piggies will eat any kind of hay. I’m the same as you – I wish my rabbits were not picky about their hay.

American Pet Diner Timothy Gold Hay is another that might be worth looking at. By the way, you English is really good!

My rabbits eat the APD 2nd Cutting Timmy Hay – the shipping is higher than Oxbow but I think the quality is much better than Oxbow so I’m willing to pay it – I get the 25 pound box. You probably will have to go through the whole order process (up to submitting) to get the shipping price – I do know they ship UPS.

The BinkyBunny store also carries the small APD second cutting in her store and her small baled hays are top quality too. If I didn’t have 9 rabbits these are what I would feed my rabbits. She has a nice variety too.

Jerseygirl — Thanks, but I’m sure I have little English grammar errors.

I’m SURE I have little errors too!  I just noticed I wrote “By the way, you English is really good” 

Good luck with the hay.

I also have to agree that APD Timothy Gold (2nd cutting) is my favorite 2nd cut hay. We used to sell 2nd cutting (not APD) compressed mini-bales in our store, but 2nd cut is very soft and doesn’t do well when cut and compacted. It breaks more easily and gets dusty. The APD bags – mini bales are not compressed or cut short They’re actually not really mini bales so I am not sure why APD calls them that, they are just 10oz bags of hay. A very good way to test it out before you buy a bunch more.

I may carry larger bags of APD’s second cut because it really is very good, and time and time again I have not been disappointed with the quality even when they say their hay is a little more brown due to seasonal changes. I just haven’t seen much brown.

I have also have heard good things about Kleenmama hay, I just haven’t seen it myself. I may have to try it out too!

Taurus – I just ordered their 2nd cut Timothy. I am very interested to compare! I’ll keep you updated. 

We had a discussion a long while back about what people found in their hay.(It wasn’t a discussion about a particular company, but more a hay generality) When ordering larger amounts of hay, especially when people order bales and half bales, the things that people found was amazing – Someone found actually found a boot in theirs!. My understanding is it is normal to find dead bugs and some sticks here and there. The smaller packages will have less of that though due to the fact that the hay has to be separated out and so more stuff will be filtered out that way.  

Also, some hays like “Teff” are naturally more pest resistant, so the nature of blue grass may have the same affect and so maybe that is why less bugs were seen there. ??
