I've used all kinds of rabbit food but the Oxbow is the first brand that my rabbits can graze on and that doesn't cause a gastric-upset.
Oxbow Essentials Adult Rabbit Food
I usually buy Burgess, which is like rabbit crack to my bunnies, but was tempted by the fact that Oxbow comes in larger quantities. Initially the rabbits were skeptical and so was I, because the pellets are so small in size. However, after a couple of weeks the rabbits have gotten used to it and it seems to me that it definitely keeps them fuller for longer than the Burgess. They also didn’t have any initial gastric problems when switching over which was a great thing.
I was a bit apprehensive at 1st because my Floof is very fussy but she absolutely loves these pellets. The smaller pellets are easier for her aswel. Thanx for the speedy shipping.
