Description
Timothy hay is the most commonly recommended hay for adult small animals, and how it is grown and handled decides how much good it actually does. Kaytee grows and hand-selects its timothy specifically for small pets, screening for long fibre strands and the right leaf-to-stem ratio rather than baling whatever the field gives. It is grown without pesticides or artificial preservatives and is not genetically engineered in any way. The high fibre content is what keeps a rabbit or guinea pig's gut moving and their continuously growing teeth worn down. This 96 ounce bale is the bulk size — the sensible buy if hay is unlimited in your house, which it should be.

Buying hay in bulk is the sensible move once you accept that it should be unlimited, and the 96 ounce bale works out cheaper per ounce than the small bags. The trade-off is storage: keep it cool, dry and closed, because hay left open goes stale and loses the fragrance that makes pets want to eat it. Give each new bag the smell test before you feed it — fresh hay smells sweet and grassy, and anything musty should go in the bin.
