Anyone tried these? I just ordered a bag today out of curiousity. I really only have 1 single rabbit that eats pellets and a pair that I put out pellets for but they are not voracious eaters.
I’m trying to get Pepe totally off pellets and to eat hay but so far, it’s not successful and this is I believe part of the reason for his dental problems since pellets do not help grind down teeth at all but it takes him a week to even get him to eat anything after his dental trims so I don’t want to totally eliminate pellets just reduce them (dramatically).
Anyway I thought I’d give these pellets a try to see what they think – they mostly aren’t very picky.
This is what Oxbow says on their website:
BeneTerra Organic
grown, handled, and processed with care
BeneTerra (pronounced be • neh • terr • uh) is a noun meaning good earth. BeneTerra Organic is a nutritionally-correct organic feed designed to mirror the nutrition a small animal would find in its natural environment. Pets given the proper food, minimal treats, and unlimited hay live the longest, healthiest lives. Organic foods differ from conventionally produced food in the way they are grown, handled, and processed. Organic foods are produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations.
I’ve bought organic hay in the past too but that gets pricey with shipping since I have to feed 9 rabbits. And I honestly don’t remember if they thought the organic was that great either.
