Highlighted Reviews
"Love that this hay is loosely packed. Like that I don’t have to struggle to pull it out of the bag. Fluffs up nicely."
"I used to love this hay but each time I get a new bag the quality gets a little worse. Dusty and less fresher than it used to be. My final straw is that I just found a rock inside the handful of hay I was about to put in my pigs cage. I’m going to be switching brands after this bag is empty."
Bottom Line
If you are looking for variety and your pet likes Timothy hay, this would be a good addition, if you don’t mind replacing bags and some debris.
