Hey guys, the Timothy Hay I've been getting on amazon has been very dried out/brown and very thin stalks.  I need to get a new box for my guy because he has no interest in this batch, and I don't want to use amazon since their quality of hay has gone down.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks!

I recommend trying to find a store that sells food for livestock. Usually they will sell bailed hay. You'll probably have to buy a lot more hay than you'll want and end up and throwing most of it out but it's inexpensive. For about the same price as what you pay at a pet store for a small quantity you can get a medium sized bail and you'll be able to tell if it's fresh.

I usually buy a 50lb compressed bail and it lasts for months for two chins. As long as the hay is still green it's good. I store the hay in laundry bags (because they are breathable).
