Grandpa's Best Timothy Hay Mini Bale, 10 Lbs (Packaging may vary),Brown

I purchased Grandpa's Best Timothy Hay Bale (40 oz) for my boys, and they absolutely love it! The hay is fresh, fragrant, and high quality—perfect for keeping them happy and healthy. I’ve tried other brands before, but this one seems to be their favorite. The compressed bale format makes it easy to store and portion out without creating a huge mess.It’s a great value for the price, and I love knowing I’m giving them something nutritious and natural. I’ll definitely be buying this again! Highly recommend for any small pets who love Timothy hay.

I read all of the reviews before I purchased, as I didn't want a huge shipment showing up and then forcing the bunny to eat the hay (it may not like) until it was gone. I started getting nervous as some of the poor reviews, but took a chance. I am so, so glad that I did. The condensed bale showed up, in a medium box, in a large plastic bag. No mess there to carry it through the house. It was very high quality, fresh, and fragrant. For those people like me who do read the reviews, here is my feedback with the other reviews in mind:1. I think the people shocked at the condensed bale just do not understand hay or farming. Yes, this is 10 lbs of timothy hay super pressed into a tiny bale. Yes, it will be difficult to separate. You may need some sort of tool to loosen it up as you flake it out for your pet. This should be obvious it was not coming loose like the bags of hay that are loosely filled. Yes, you will need scissors to cut the bale open. Once again, this is 10 lbs of hay pressed into a tiny block!!!2. My bunny LOVES it. Yes, there are random sizes of hay in the bale. This is normal. Again, you are buying a high quality, farm cut and processed, bale of hay. None of the hay is inedible. The bale I received is very fresh and bunny has NOT picked through it like other hays I have purchased (from petco, local farm store, walmart). Even the large pieces are eaten up quickly because they are NOT hard and stale.3. It is okay for hay to loose color. Organic products (ie: plants) can loose color when it gains access to air and such. Just because it is not bright green in part of it does not make it bad. Mold and moisture is when hay is bad.I think this is an awesome, quality product that I will continue to purchase. I absolutely love that its pressed into a tiny bale. I can put it in a storage container with a lid to keep the mess down (vs that time i bought a 20 lb bale from the local farm store and it was huge and made an even bigger mess). Also, it is cost effective and as it lasts longer, I am being pro-active and not re-purchasing a bi-weekly plastic bag of hay from walmart or petco (less plastic is good!). As well, it makes me feel great to be supporting a small farm vs a large random company and low quality product.

I have two small rabbits. They love this hay and so do I.The compressed bales are incredibly convenient. I have indoor rabits and live in a townhouse. Hay is cheaper when you buy 10+ lbs at a time, but it usually comes in huge boxes. These mini bales save a ton of space.They are also way less messy for me because I can easily put them in a plastic tub without spilling any hay (that part of the process is usually a huge mess and frustrating because I the tubs usually only fit about half the box of other kinds of hay).And I can fit more hay into a feeder at a time which makes my life easier (only need to feed them every other day now).The bunnies love the hay and seem to eat all of what I give them and then flop down in their way that indicates they are happy and satiated.The bales have smaller cuts of hay with more stems/ fewer flowering seed pods than some other brands of hay, but my bunnies don't seem to care. From what I've read, the stems are perfectly fine for nutrition ( some bunnies apparently have taste preferences for the seeds, but mine don't).And the price is right. I paid about $2.50 per pound for a 10 lbs box, which is about as cheap as any hay I've seen on this site.Complaints about dust/ small flakes seem overblown. Yes, there's some dust, but I've never found a brand that doesn't have that.And I appreciate that it comes in plastic bags (some brands don't which really sucks when the cardboard box gets wet in the rain).

I have been subscribed to this product for a few years. We like the compact packaging. It’s great for storage, serving. I can fit more hay in a smaller space. The hay breaks off in a square instead of a handful of loose hay, which seems to go farther, with fewer times refilling the feed bag and makes less of a mess when filling her feed bag.One complaint I have is the texture of the hay can be inconsistent , sometimes it is darker green and softer with a grass like consistency and other times it appears lighter and coarser with a more hay like consistency.

My guinea pigs love this hay. It is nice and green and seems to be good quality. It looks and feels better than others I have bought. They jumped right in and started eating it up so it must taste good too.For me it comes in cute compact little hay bales, so cute and functional. It breaks up very easily into little slabs that makes it more manageable than the bag types. If you use hay you know what I mean, it gets everywhere!! It will all come apart very easily but I like it in the slabs so they can play breaking it up. I would recommend buying.
