FarmerDave's ALL NATURAL PET PRODUCTS:
For Rabbits, Bunnies, Guinea Pigs, Chinchillas, Ferrets, Gerbils, Hamsters, Rats, Mice, Tortoises and other small animals.
FIRST CUTTING TIMOTHY HAY
1st CUTTING is called "first" because it is the hay that is harvested earliest in the growing season. It has a lighter green color and is a more mature and coarser hay with stems and seed heads. 1st CUTTING is generally preferred for Bunnies and Rabbits because it promotes healthy teeth wear and satisfies your pet's gnawing instincts. 1st CUTTING Timothy Hay is slightly lower in nutrition, plus slightly higher in fiber; and therefore may assist in controlling obesity.
Hay characteristics differ from year to year. Hay is a product "Grown", not manufactured, so ultimately Nature decides the final characteristics of the product through artifacts like growth rate and harvest schedules/opportunities. 1st CUTTING hay is a lighter color than 2nd CUTTING , and there may be some yellow/brown as the grasses grow taller and maturity continues. This is not harmful to your pet in any way. FarmerDave will NOT add coloration to make it look more appealing to the human eye.
FarmerDave's 1st CUTTING includes the standard Timothy Hay plus a nice mix of legacy grasses (example: Orchard, Blue Grass, etc), and sometimes a touch of clover stems and buds. There is an abundance of 2 to 4 inch timothy seed heads that you pets will find tasty and delightful.
SECOND CUTTING TIMOTHY HAY
2nd CUTTING is called "second" because it is the hay that is harvested after 1st CUTTING and after the hay has re-grown. The yield per acre is lower for 2nd because timothy hay is a cool season grass (that?s why it grows well up North) with slower growth as the summer gets hotter. It takes more time, effort and gentle care to make 2nd CUTTING hay correctly. 2nd CUTTING Timothy Hay has a darker green color and is a more leafy and more tender hay with higher levels of nutrition. 2nd CUTTING is preferred by most hay eating small animals (Bunnies, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Chinchillas, Gerbils, Hamsters, Mice, Rats, Tortoises). Our 2nd CUTTING Timothy Hay is more of a premium specialty hay that is harder to find for purchase than 1st Cutting.
SECOND CUTTING TIMOTHY HAY AND CLOVER
2nd CUTTING WITH CLOVER is very similar to Regular 2nd CUTTING, "but" with a smattering of nice Clover Buds and Clover Stems. 2nd CUTTING WITH CLOVER provides the leafy hay that small animals prefer but with the addition of stems that are good for the teeth and chewing instinct, and also with the clover buds for a tasty treat. Bunnies and Rabbits especially like chewing the clover stems.
FRUIT SLICE TREATS
Fruit Slice Treats are all natural dried fruit slices from our own farm. They are wonderful snacks for your pets to nibble and enjoy, BUT ALSO HEALTHY. No Dyes - No Artificial Additives.
APPLE CHEW STICKS & BRANCHES
Apple Chew Sticks and Branches are real sticks and branches from real apple trees. These are all natural; No Dyes ? No Artificial Additives ? No Chemicals. Apple sticks are widely recommended by veterinarians for promoting healthy teeth. Rabbits, Chinchillas, Guinea Pigs and other small chewing animals simply love the taste of the apple bark. Hand cut, trimmed and selected for the best quality.
APPLE CHEW TOYS
These are toys made from real apple branches for your pet to nibble and play. They can be chewed, pushed, thumped and bumped for your pets continuous enjoyment. Apple wood is highly recommended by veterinarians for healthy teeth because of its tastiness and hard wood texture. Recommended for Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Chinchillas, Mice, Rats, etc.
