Hello guys,
Soooo i must have been very naive before considering I have been buying pellets for my buns from Wal-mart..the more reading i have been doing on these forums the more I’ve begun to realize that rabbit foods from such places are not always a healthy choice. I would love your feedback on whether or not I should discontinue to use these pellets. There are no seeds or anything in it, just pellets. They seem to be alfalfa based and my buns are 7 months old.I’m not even sure when to switch the pellets to timothy based? I think it’s once they reach 1 year old..?
The price for the pellets is awesome, so it would be good if we dint have to change them. (10 kg for about 20 bucks Canadian) But I mean if they are no good, I would definitely pay for a better choice
Anyways, here’s the ingredients and nutritional info.
Would really appreciate input on whether it is okay or not
THANK YOU in advance
