  bluegrass vs. timothy experment {i seriousley did this. me iz LOOPY!}
  
  i was bored. really really bored.i wanted to see why buttons hated timothy hay so much. and loved bluegrass. what could be so bad about it? i had bluegrass and timothy in his hay bin….
  
  BLUEGRASS: i tried the bluegrass first. a small handful. *chew chew chew chew chew, swallow* actually not bad. really, try it. a nice fresh aroma will flood your mouth. taking over your sense of smell. and slightly smokey taste, like fresh off the grill. then comes the taste of fresh alfalfa lingering in the grass hay. sweet, yet tangy. the fescue too, bitter sweet with a cherry chocolate after taste. i long for that taste again. oh i do.
  
  TIMOTHY: i tried this next. another small handful. *chew chew chew chew chew chew chew, GAG can’t swallow ahhhh choking!*
  
  really bad. really really bad. first, as you chew, the long spiky stalks poke and prod your mouth. then the taste. don’t even go there! dont know why i kept chewing. moldy tasting, musty, if you may. maybe slightly stale. it was very woody, like eating bark off a tree in the dead of winter. very woody overtones, with a hint of sea salt. just like eating a mouth full of old weeds. yuck! then, i tried to swallow! the pain oh the pain! it hurt. don’t try to swallow old spiky timothy hay.
  
  in conclusion: i, bunnycutie, agree with buttons the rabbit, in this scintific expirement.bluegrass has a much better taste than timtothy. we have come to terms. no more timothy. you can olny know if you try

  Wow. I’ve tried papaya tablets, APD cookies and drunk cage cleaning vinegar thinking it was my water bottle, but I think I’ll draw the line at trying hay! 0_o
  Although you never know, When it comes to greens, you know the rule; if you wouldn’t eat it, don’t feed it to your rabbit. I wonder if most timothy hay IS moldy or musty because there’s so much of it packed up for sale, and a lot of it just sits forever on the shelves…perhaps this is why mine won’t eat it either?
  We prefer (I should say ‘we’ means my bunnies) young oat or orchard grass. Fiver will eat the common timothy, but he really prefers other hays if he can get them.
  Thank you though, bunnycutie, for doing that experiment so I don’t have to! ^_^

  for their great smell the papaya tablets were quite yucky. Hmm no wonder my buns are refusing timmy and will literally eat cardboard and paper instead. Timmy is just plain yucky ok I get it. A very clear picture thank you BC and no I dont’ think you are silly. A little goofy maybe but not silly. Just kidding.
  
  Hmmm BC how does cardboard and newspaper taste?
