TIMOTHY HAY

Timothy Hay is a grass hay. It can grow high, up to around 6 feet tall. There are three varieties you can buy. At the Little Hay Company, we offer a Premium Cut Timothy Hay.

This Premium Cut Timothy Hay has a long strand and has soft flowery heads. Our Premium Cut Timothy Hay is ideal for digestion and teeth health for your small hay eating pets.

The three cuts of Timothy Hay are the first cut, second cut and third cut. The first cut has the highest fibre rating but is lower in nutritional value, it is also the hardest of the cuts. The second cut is more balanced between fibre and protein. The third cut is softer and greener with less fibre but more protein. In the UK, we tend to get one cut of timothy on most farms, this is due to our shorter summers and wetter weather. The Little Hay Co Timothy hay is a coarse cut timothy, high in fibre and green in colour and can be enjoyed by most furry herbivore friends.

You can find Timothy Hay in most supermarkets or pet stores, but you may find yourself asking why is my rabbit ignoring its hay? The difference between a standard off the shelf Timothy Hay and Timothy Hay from The Little Hay Company is that we create dust-free hay using our innovative drying system. This helps reduce any allergies and means your favourite little animal is only getting the very best of the grass hay, not the dust too. Our Timothy Hay is also fragrant, has long stems and soft flower heads for variety. As our Timothy Hay also maintains its green colour, it can be visually more appealing to a fussy animal.

We also stock a Canadian Timothy hay. This hay is a supercharged green colour due to the better weather in the Canada, it is still a coarse cut and can be enjoyed as a treat hay.
