Here is a thread on this from a couple years ago that might give you some more people’s experiences:

I have used sherwood since bentley was 9 weeks old, he is now 2. We are currently on the sherwood timothy formula but was on the complete (Blue bag) for 1.5 years,  which is the timothy and alfalfa combined. I honestly have never had an issue. His fur is great and everyone always compliment him saying his fur is super soft and his poops are nice as well. However there was a post by ohio holland lop regarding the timothy formula and if you are intrested then you can check out thier post about it on instagram or facebook. I actually wanted to make a post asking if any one has had an issue with the Timothy formula lately.

Bentley is not the best hay eater so I thought the timothy formula might be better for him. The only major thing I noticed is that he is not excited for the pellets. when I was on the Timothy/alfalfa, he would be so excited when it was pellet time but now he could care less. I give him one tablespoon in the morning and 1 at night but sometimes it takes him  the entire day to finish the morning portion. Other than that I have not really seen a differene. I might change back to the timothy alfalfa formula when I almost finish this Timothy bag just to see if I see any difference. But overall I have not had any problems per se. He did have stasis twice when on Timothy/alfalfa but that was during molting season  and once when he was on Timothy (not molting) and that only lasted a few hours. I don’t know if there was any correlation.

The timothy formulation was introduced maybe last winter so it is fairly new. They usually only had the timothy/alfalfa formula.

He is a holland lop and weighs about 2.7 ish lbs however this weight was from december maybe when we went to the vet for nail trims. You can’t see his ribs or bone but you can feel them so I always worry about him being maybe underweight. I also give him a small pinch of oats every couple of days. I came to realize he is more of a grazer. Even with this veggies he tends to just eat some and comes back for the rest another time. He is better with his dinner portions and eats those much faster. I use the sherwood papaya tablets and banana to test his appetite. If he doesn’t eat those then I start to worry.

During the time I switched him over to the new formula I actually found a hay brand he actually loved! so he ate much more then he did before. So I am actually not sure if the timothy formula help his hay intake at all haha

Also how do you do the @ thing on the top?

I feed my bunnies Sherwood even though they have no problem with eating hay, because it’s the only grain-free rabbit food out there and I can’t feed them any wheat ’cause I’m allergic.  I buy the red bag, though, not the blue. I can’t really find a difference between them. My bunnies LOVE it, thought. I feed them twice a day. I even give it as treats! Also, when I got them, they were very scruffy and Benji was way too thin. Their old owner said she fed them Oxbow, but when I got them, I switched to Sherwood without any transition time. The bunnies loved it immediately! Benji now is a healthy size, although still a little more lean than his brother. They’re also much less scruffy. Sherwood works great for me and my buns!

@Bu20055

Both his parents were 4-5 lbs so I don’t know what happened lol.

I saw the blue (Timothy/alfalfa) on amazon yesterday! I am not sure where you are from so amazon might be different for you.

I feed the Timothy only version, just a scant 1 tablespoon a day.

I used to feed Oxbow adult essentials for many many years. I didn’t really have a super strong reason for switching, just thought I would give it a shot because the ingredients looked good. My kids only get 1 Tablespoon each (or a bit less), once a day. I did the transition very slowly. They go just as crazy for them as they did for Oxbow once the transition was done.

Prob been feeding it for 5 months now? Everyone seems to be doing very well. All have very soft coats, and their pee doesn’t smell at all. I also noticed my senior bun seems to have better muscle mass, and my girls (who were a bit chunky) are at a healthier weight. Although the girls had come from the shelter recently, so they were a bit overweight just from not getting as much exercise.

Just a update because I know many people feed sherwoods. Ohio holland lops just posted a lenghy post about the formulas after talking with David Sherwood, on their instagram and facebook. Apparently Sherwoods is planning on phasing out the alfalfa in the blue bags due to GMO concerns and there will be a new formula coming out.

If anyone is interested, please check out her post. There is so mcuh more information that they are providing.  I just wanted to inform everyone!

I haven’t talked with David in a while, but odd that they would phase out the “blue bag” because of the alfafa/GMO concerns since the blue bag is basically the same as the red bag except for the added timothy in the blue.  My buns were on the blue bag for years but switched to the timothy formula (green bag) after it was introduced.  We only switched after David encouraged us to try it with Moshi (acq megacolon).

Ok just saw.  Sherwood announced their free-feed version of the timothy pellets.
