Standlee Hay Company Premium Timothy Grass Hand-Selected Forage, 25 lb Box

Hay, online? What? Well, we broke down and purchased Standlee online, after having a difficult time finding a similar sized bale in local stores.To our surprise, and much to the delight of our guinea pigs and bunny- it was excellent quality 2nd cut Timothy hay. Green, aromatic, lots of hay tops and its plenty soft. Our zoo is eating this hay right up, lots of happy piggy popcorns and bunny binkies!!It has remained fresh and smells great.The price is worthy of the quality hay- which proves itself as soon as you see your pets getting excited each time they know another deposit of this hay is being dropped!! Give it a try, it is a good buy.

Wow this 25 lb Timothy hay came in a huge 24x18.5x18 box. I was more impressed when I got to open it. It was neatly stuffed in a black plastic bag & smelled fresh. It was long stalks of green hay too. None of that brown dead moldy stuff. Now the taste test. My 3 yr dwarf mixed Bunny is super picky about her hay. She’s been eating another brand for the past 2.5 yrs. I hadn’t been too happy with their hay quality but she just seems to love it. I just wanted to try this. The Other hay I was using tends to be super dusty towards the middle & end of box which I hate. Also lots of brown dried hay & their 20 lb Is cut up into short pieces which gets very flaky when distributing. This wasn’t like that at all. It was nice & long which I could pick up with my hands w/o flaking off. Then again it’s the good stuff on the top so can’t comment until I’ve used it a bit. As for taste? I couldn’t tell you but my Bun has been eating & nibbling on it. I’m very happy about that but only time will tell. I hope this is a keeper bcz the price point was fabulous. I paid more for just the 20 lb box from the previous brand. You can see from the pics how green their hay is... I’m not lying. I’ll update after going thru the box a bit. This will definitely last a very long time.

This is the second box I’ve purchased for my 4 year old Holland lop. In the past, I’ve purchased bales of Timothy hay from co-ops, etc. but it got difficult getting the bales from there to my home. Frankly, I wanted the convenience of the hay being delivered to my front door. The first box I received was well packaged and fresh, but not overly vibrant in color. It looked very similar to the hay I was purchasing at the co-op. The bun loved it and ate it with gusto. The second box I received was again well packaged and fresh, but this time it was very vibrant in color. It looked very fresh and appetizing. The bun is loving this box of hay. Just as reference he goes through (1) 25lb box of hay in about 4-5 months.

I've switched from Oxbow for my 3 Guinea Pigs, to this hay. I was very impressed with the fresh quality in the green color, aromatic smell, huge long strands, and lots of full thick seed heads. My picky guinea pigs couldn't get enough of it and it was quality from the first serving to the last at the bottom of the 25 lb. box! Not overly dusty because its not compressed into dust or overly dry! I will continue to buy this hay because I want my pets to have the very best. I was spending more for Oxbow and getting inconsistent quality. I grew so tired of panicking when I would get my new oxbow hay and my pigs wouldn't touch it and started going into stasis. I was forced then to drive for hours into larger cities to find something they would be able to eat. I no longer have this problem with this product. I am so thankful to have tried this hay! I feel very confident recommending this hay for your small loved pets!

The largest downfall of caring for our beloved guinea pigs has been our hay issues. We have gotten timothy hay from Small Pet Select. It's great hay but the amount of 'hay dust' has been unbearable (in the cage, on the floor, in the air). Their packaging also made the hay leak everywhere, so we needed to make a change. WOW, this was the right move. 1. It's packaged in a giant box with a thick plastic bag. It stays contained in the box and you can reclose the plastic and the hay smell stays contained. 2. It is bright green with lots of the fuzzy 'tops' that the piggies love. 3. It doesn't have the mountain of small dusty particles that not only were getting everywhere on the floor and in the cage, but were in the air. The hay smells fresh but doesn't dominate the air in the room. 4. This is an enormous box for a crazy good price. 5. Our pigs devour it. Win on all fronts!
