You are mistaken not with the half inch welded wire it gives them plenty of support I raised rabbits into long elderly age even when they became blind and eventually died. never had a problem with their feet.
Timothy grass and Timothy Hay are the same thing. The cost difference is irrelevant. And Timothy straw is incorrect usage. Straw is the stock of a plant such as wheat or rye. Hay is a dried crop harvest almost exclusively for feed, typically a grass, or se types of legumes. You may have found a higher quality Timothy than you were previously using, but there is no difference between the two. They are all the dry cuttings of Phleum pratense. The biggest difference you are going to find is going to be first and second cuttings etc. So the first cutting is the first cut of the season, they then let it grow back and they take a second cut. Typically The First cut is a little bit more rough. Going to have more sticks and stuff, because of the spring vigorous growth and increases in water. Second cut is usually softer, and higher in protein, due to being denser, since it didn't grow as fast. I'm not sure if the third cut is more than second, but id assume it's similar to second cut. Then there is what's considered soft Timothy, which is just the leaves and may contain some soft seed heads and stalks, and may have been a second or third cut.
I was disappointed in this video. Your topic and your commentary did not match. I was looking for a REAL comparison of Timothy Grass VS Timothy Hay. Better luck another time.
@@SandcastleDreams it takes me 15 to 20 minutes per rabbit to process. Perhaps try purchasing one of the rubber fatigue mats from home depot. It really helps. I even bought one for my wife in front of her bv sink.
@@malcolmwebb4075 by the way I found a local farmer which sells orchard grass for $6/bale. I switch a month ago and the rabbits love it just as well. Good for me 1/3 the cost.
