1st Cut Timothy Hay, 5 Lbs

Tried all the popular to fancy to store quality brands, Viking Farmer has remained my and my picky bun’s favorite. When I first reviewed it on Chewy last year, I was surprised there werent more raving reviews. Thrilled to find it on Amazon now. It’s so green and luscious I almost feel like eating it myself lol! Stems are long which is better for rabbit digestion than the short cut up hay. It keeps them occupied as well. And the fact that it comes from small farmers makes me feel good.One thing I realized is that hay is a seasonal thing. The box isn’t always going to be perfect, but so far I’ve been lucky with Viking Farmer.Sorry for the long review but I felt compelled to write this because after my little bun had a scary bout of GI stasis/obstruction, the first hay I turned to once he was well enough was Viking Farmer. Lo and behold, his droppings have never looked better, he has more energy, he wastes less hay. It was also the only Timothy hay he consistently ate when weaning him off Alfalfa hay (which is also amazing from this brand). The only reason I tried other brands in between was there was a point where it wouldn’t deliver from Chewy soon enough. Fresh, top quality, good value, ideal for digestion. And of course no hay dust. Please never stop selling this hay!!

*UPDATE* I am revising my review because I just received an amazing box of hay! I stopped buying this after receiving several terrible boxes. I heard that ownership had changed and so decided to try again. I opened the box, it smells amazing, and my bunnies came running! I’ve been feeling terrible lately because I know they don’t love their current brand of hay and I’m so excited to have Viking Farmer back to its original quality!Previous review: My rabbits, absolutely love this hay! However, lately, it seems that every other box is problematic. My recent boxes have had tons of dust and tiny bits. The last box was half green and half brown hay. Not sure if this is seasonal or what. When it’s a good box, I’m happy to pay the relatively high price because it’s green and fresh.

The AI review is misleading because my Rabbit used to love this hay and he attacked his hay bin and ate up a storm. Now, however, he hardly eats his hay which is not good for his health. It is not the same hay as it was in the past so after a month of the hay hardly being eaten I started to look at the reviews. Most the good ones are in the past. Most of the more recent reviews are correct. The hay is not the same. I now sucks. Amazon AI does not take into account if the quality of a product has dropped precipitously therefore it is misleading. So I guess AI is not good for everything.

This is wonderful hay! I originally purchased this as I needed new hay and my normal hay way just "eh" quality and shipping for it was going to prove expensive, I decided to try this one after watching the video of the farmer as they seemed like nice, trustworthy people.When it arrived at my doorstep, I was shocked at how big the box was, upon opening it, I find a little brochere talking about the hay, which I found interesting. That and there is a hidden Easter egg of Timothy pellets. This is already a much better experience than I have ever had while trying hay, and I have tried them all, though I find oxbow and small pet select the worst, the latter being bug infested.Anyways, the hay smelled so fresh and good that all 4 of my boy chinchillas came out of their house to see what I had bought them. I put it out for them and they immediately ran upstairs (even though it was their napping time), all of them just started gobbling it down, they aren't even picky, but they just loved this hay, and if they love it, I love it. I appreciate all of the care that goes into this product. I will be buying this hay as long as it it made. Thank you from me and my boys.

I would literally give this hay 10 stars if I could! I also used to purchase my hay from Chewy but got tired of either returning it because it was like litter all chopped up or it was yellow mixed with brown. This Viking Farmer hay is AMAZING! Green thru out and very little scraps. Plus the bonus is I get to support a small business! THANK YOU for all your hard work and efforts for making this hay my #1!
