  So i buy mr gimly 9lb boxes of Oxbow Western Timothy Hay, which usually seems to be 1st or 2nd cut. However the box i got last weekend appears to be 3rd cut( very green and soft). Im just wondering if its ok for him to have just this. Ive seen before that its possibly too nutrient rich or not enough fiber. Hes smashing hay like he always does and his dinner appetite is normal as well. Hes also pooping normally(maybe slightly smaller, but same amount). Any feedback would be great!

  I would think it would be fine, nutritionally, especially if he is eating it as normal and has regular bathroom habits. Keep an eye out, just to be sure, but I would think 3rd cut will be alright until you can buy another box when this runs low. With that amount it would be a shame to waste it if he’s eating normally. Good luck!

  Yeah i dont really want to waste it, but its not too expensive. im afraid if i go back and try to buy another box so soon its just going to be the same. If anyone else has any suggestions please chime in.
