  I have had guinea-pigs in the past and I knew that the best thing to do was to buy fresh hay (local if possible) or fresh pellets.
  
  Kleenmama’s was the best place to get quality guinea-pig pellets that were touted better than Oxbow (by everyone’s satisfied guinea-pigs). I suppose this was because, unlike many pellet brands, KM’s pellets were more fresh, genuine, and flavorful than the store-bought brands that spend long lengths of time in the warehouse/factory.
  
  Sadly, she doesn’t make rabbit pellets. Grrr.
  
  I feed Zupreem (although it has corn, it’s pesticede-free) currently, but I want to try something new… Other than Oxbow Organic.
  
  I was wondering if there was a similar company that sells fresh rabbit food.
  
  I found one with great reviews, but I was wondering if there were others.
  
  Help.

  I live down in Australia but I hear quite a few good things about Sherwood Forest pellets, Just wish we could get something that lovely and fresh down here. Good luck with your search

  Thanks! I ordered a 4.5 pound bag for starters.
  
  I found this one moments ago while lurking another rabbit forum *ahem*:

  But I don’t like the ingredients. The ingredients are too much and have unvital additives.
  … Anyone that sells yogurt treats for guinea-pigs or rabbits isn’t very knowledgable in cavy/lagomorph nutrition, either.
  
  I can’t wait until the Sherwood pellets arrive.
  Gosh, I can’t stand the suspense!
  
  Now, I just need a place to buy bulk hay.

  For bulk hay, do you have any feed stores near you? I get fresh local hay from one near my house at fairly low cost.

  I don’t use Zupreem, but I know that they no longer include corn in their pellets, if that is one reason you wanted to try another pellet.

  I have somewhat local feed stores (if you call 30 miles local) but no car to deliver hay into the big city, which is where I reside.
  
  Penelope loves the Sherwood pellets:
