The second cut, also known as aftermath hay , follows the first cut. It contains a lower percentage of fibre, but stands out for its higher protein content and is greener. These properties result from a higher proportion of grass leaves and a smaller proportion of flowers and ears. The blades are soft, short and easily digestible, which is why aftermath hay is suitable for rabbits as well as guinea pigs, chinchillas, degus and other small mammals. It is also welcomed by young animals, pregnant and nursing females, older animals and animals with any difficulties eating, whether related to dental disease or convalescence after illness or a veterinary procedure. To ensure the hay adequately wears down the teeth, it is recommended to mix aftermath hay with first-cut hay.

The hay comes from clean, organically managed meadows with BIO certification, cared for like our greatest treasure. The meadows are not chemically treated, but are regularly mulched (weeds are eco-friendly removed on them by cutting with a specially shaped blade) and oversown. As a result, the hay has a balanced ratio of herbs and grasses and contains clover, plantain, fescue, timothy, dandelion and chamomile. After harvesting, the hay is packed by hand – every blade passes through human hands, so no twigs or other unwanted debris remain in the hay. It is also dust-free.
