3rd Cut Timothy Hay, 3 lbs

Viking Farmer now has new owners, yay! VF hay used to be the only hay my bunnies would eat then quality declined so dramatically (tons of weeds including thistles and foxtails, lots of brown and dust) I had to search for a replacement (very stressful and expensive). It had been awhile, so I hoped the issues had resolved and checked the website. Found out there were new owners so I emailed them asking about the hay. I got a response within the hour from Jenn and she told me all about their hay and history and answered all of my questions. So, I decided to give them a try again. I ordered both the 1st and 3rd cut and both were vibrant green and long - just how you'd hope and expect your hay would look. And they smell wonderful. I'm so glad the new owners have turned things around. I can wholeheartedly recommend their hay. It's great quality so now it's just up your pets to decide if they like the taste (if they're super picky like mine - mine are older and prefer the 3rd). If you have questions, do go to their website and send them an email - you'll be glad you did.

Had been buying this brand, third cut Timothy hay, from this company for a while with no issue; soft hay pieces with little to no seeds or weeds. However, my latest purchase was a disaster. I didn’t realize it at first but soon I saw my bunny had some really sticky seed burr things stuck all over his fur, including his face. I checked the hay, and it was absolutely full of weeds and leaves, and, most importantly, in this case, very sticky, painful seed ends. They hurt, they are difficult to get out of hair and my whole house ended up covered in them because they spread easily. My bunny is sensitive and did not like having to have these seed pods pulled from his hair and he quit eating hay for a while until I got him a different kind, a better kind with no weeds or burrs. As another inconvenience, seed pods stuck totally in the mat I had for my bunny and they are near impossible to remove so I will likely have to replace his mat as well. I emailed the company and have heard nothing back and have no expectation of any reply, or ability to address my issue. I won’t be purchasing this hay in the future. I’ve posted some pictures of the absolute clumps of seed, pods and weeds and things that are clearly not smooth soft third cut Timothy hay. You can see the leaves, the weed stalks, and the general clumps of what should be smooth and soft hay. Sad about it.

easy asceses to grab the hay out of the box when need it when your animals

Ok yall--After reading the recent review from blueskye, I took a chance and ordered a new 3rd cut box based on skye's review....and it's awesome!I also emailed the company and just as skye said, Jenn replied quickly and explained that her family has taken over the company and provides great hay (true!) and stands behind their product.We received the hay today and it's really great! Long, green strands that smell amazing-- and my guinea pigs love it!Give VF another try- the new ownership makes all the difference and the communication is on point too. No more unanswered emails and really good hay!EDIT 3/2025--Recently needed some customer service help from VF for another order I placed. Robert helped me this time and was wonderful! He was quick to reply and you can tell he's very committed to his products and customers (he and Jenn both are). I am very pleased with the hay and my guinea pigs are munching it as I type this! The new ownership has absolutely been a 180 for the company and they genuinely care. 10/10

My rabbits to love this hay but often we get a box that has more Dust and little pieces than actual hay. I feel like its 70% good hay and the rest is trash. Its disappointing when you find a hay that your rabbit but the quality is not CONSISTENTLY as good as it should be with every box. Because of that, I would like to give it 3 1/2 stars definitely not worthy of four and I believe three it’s too little because my rabbits like the hay and its not dried out or dead.

******Updated review February 2025******We used to exclusively buy from Viking Farmer, in fact, it was the ONLY hay that our picky bunny would eat! Since the original owner sold the business this past fall, however, they are now outsourcing to other farmers and the quality of the hay is absolutely HORRENDOUS. They claim to be "Certified Weed-Free", but we have now received numerous boxes (obviously from multiple other farms since the quality of hay varies a lot between boxes), almost all of which have contained tons of weeds, including some very sharp/thorny ones that have actually caused pain and drawn a bit of blood from me while trying to hand-sort the "good" pieces out.My husband and I are now looking for a new hay supplier for our bunny, and are incredibly disappointed with the "new" Viking Farmer. I'm sure Lyle (the previous owner), would be ashamed if he knew what has become of his family business and the terrible reputation it is now getting.****Original review***This is our second time buying from Viking Farmer (first time alfalfa hay, this time timothy hay). Our bunny is picky when it comes to his hay, and this is his absolute favorite!!!!! The quality is fantastic, completely weed free and apparently very delicious! ;)Our most recent box even came with a surprise in the form of a golden egg filled with a little bonus (we won't ruin the surprise for those customers lucky enough to find one in the future!)We absolutely love being able to support small farmers, especially those that can provide such high quality product for such a great price! We will never buy hay from any other place!

Everything seemed good. Box in good shape, product in good shape(no mold, smelled sweet). Company seems cool.My bunnies avoided it, ate around it. My bad for getting 3rd cut Timothy, but I figured they would still eat it. Nope.Just looks like grass clippings, nothing to chomp on. They need that crunch.May work for baby bunnies or other animals, but not my 7 month olds(I guess they are still babies😉).
