  I use Heinolds Family Plan 17-17
  
  I mainly stick with it because of Chom. I’ve tried to wean him from it, and get him to eat other kinds of pellets but he is a stubborn boy and refuses to change. His prior owner always fed him that and never changed so he won’t even try new things. I’ve tried mixing in a little bit of a new brand and he picks them out. It’s not just pellet food either. Chom is just insanely stubborn and won’t try new things.
  
  Speckles will eat just about anything I will give her thankfully.
  
  So yeah Heinolds. This is their charty thing for nutrients.
  
  Crude Protein, min        17.00%       Calcium (CA), max       1.10%
  
  Crude Fat, min               2.50% Phosphorus, (P), min 0.45%
  
  Crude Fiber, min              15.00%      Salt, min                         0.40%
  
  Crude Fiber, max             19.00%      Salt, max                        0.90%
  
  Calcium (CA), min             0.60%       Vitamin A, min    3000 IU/LB
  
  Not sure how great it is for them, but I do know a bunch of breeders, and people that show their bunnies who really love this brand, and swear by it.

  I used to feed Martins Timothy, but have recently switched to Oxbow.

  I feed them Oxbow Adult pellets, and I also mix in a little of the Oxbow Organic pellets.

  I’ve recently weaned my Thumper from awful muesli and we’ve tried 3 brands of pellets (Excel, Tescos and Science Selective) and he didn’t like any of them. So far he’s just eating what veggies I can find he’ll be willing to eat and hay. What are some good pellet brands?

  As I’m sure everyone has heard by now, I recently switched from Martin brand to Sherwood Forest brand. OK that’s enough plugs for me.
