› FORUM › DIET & CARE › Oxbow Rabbit Food?
Just wanted to see where you get your rabbit food.
I used to buy mine from the binky bunny store, but got tired of paying shipping so I found a feed store that carries it. Luckily the feed store carries my bedding and the food so I can get both when I need them there. =) It’s over priced, but it’s worth it because adding shipping costs is just about the same.
I get mine from Petsmart. It’s about a 3 minute drive from my home
I get mine from either petsmart or Dr Foster & Smith for the free shipping
Okay!
I buy my Oxbow pellets at a local feed store. I also buy my hay and litter there.
Thanks! I found it on petsmart as well, but the 5 pound bag is $12
I buy my bags from Dr Foster & Smith. If you order over $50 worth, it’s free shipping, so I generally buy 3 ten pound bags at a time.
Yes it is rather pricey at petsmart lol

Yeah, I normally buy 2 10lb bags and then my parrot food and load up on toys to finish off the $50.
We’re blessed to have another bunmom friend nearby, so we get 50 lbs. and divvy it up. A box of treats makes it come to enough for free shipping. ![]()
About how many pound of rabbit food do your buunies go through each month?
My two go through a 5lb bag every 3ish weeks, so not a lot. But, the bags sealed up stay fresh long enough that 20lbs doesn’t go bad on me.
I use a short plastic Sterilite storage container to store the pellets. A ten pound bag fills it perfectly.
I opened our current ten pound bag about 2 months ago and there is still some left. This is with two bunnies.
I actually buy a 50 lb bag from my tractor and farm supply about once a month (of course I have 9 mouths to feed LOL) and store them in a pet food storage bin from Walmart and it works pretty good for us.
I get mine ( Oxbow pellets ) from Amazon. I try to support BB as often as possible, but shipping is an extra $14.

You can use the affiliate link to amazon to support BB and buy the food from Amazon.
I forgot about the affiliate link to Amazon… Bugger, I just bought a new herbal referrence book.
What is the link? Sorry, I can’t find it. I’d love to have it!
You can find the link on the home page of binkybunny.com.
Here it is:

How many cups of food are in e 5 pound bag?
My guess would be 10-15 cups.
My bunnies go through less than 3 TBSP of pellets per day so a bag lasts a long time. I buy it at Global Pet Foods.

How many cups of food are in e 5 pound bag?
5 Pounds is 10 cups. The average sized rabbit with no diet issues will get about 1/4 cup of pellets a day. There are a lot of people who feed much less, but for sake of argument, let’s say 1/4 cup. So that means that a 5 pound bag would last approximately 40 days.
LPT- How many rabbits do you have? Is that per bunny or for all of your rabbits?
Thanks for all the answers!
I get my from a local discount pet supply store.
I get a 10 lb bag for around $14 dollars there, while at petsmart you can get a 5 lb bag for $15.
Thank you! MD- your new profile pic is very cute ![]()
This just takes me to the amazon homepage. Does it work for you?
Ella –
Thank you.
From what I understand of the amazon affiliate thing is that if you click that link and then shop normally BB get’s credit when you buy stuff. But maybe one of the mods or BB herself could shed some more light on it.
