Country Feeds pellet

[BunnyLass568]

My parents bought some new (and expensive ($15-$25)) pellets for Blossom and Thumper and I tried it out but I don’t think they like them (can’t say I blame them, it smells horrible) but something told me to check it out further and I couldn’t find the Nutrition Facts on the bag. I decided to see if I can find something about it online but I couldn’t really find much (only one website kind of gives a Nutrition Fact list) and I found out that this brand isn’t heard of very much. I’m feeling VERY unsure of these pellets now and I would like to know if someone more educated can tell me if they’re actually good or not. The pellets are called Nutrena Country Feed 16% Rabbit Feed, the link for a good picture and better facts is here: https://www.nutrenaworld.com/product/country-feeds-16-rabbit-feed

I can’t find the ingredients but the fact that their website says it isn’t necessary to feed hay makes me question the companies knowledge on rabbits. I wouldn’t trust a compamy that doesn’t acknowledge the importance of hay (and doesn’t just not acknowledge, literally state how unimportant it is!)

There are at least 2 websites that I know of that list and compare pellet brands. I don’t see that brand isn’t listed on either site.

Besides the fact that the company says hay isn’t necessary for rabbits, which is totally wrong, I wouldn’t trust a company that doesn’t list the product ingredients on the bag or on their website.

Thanks guys for the input! We got them new pellets today (Oxbow) and they love them.

If they’ve not had the oxbow ones before, make sure you start off with a small amount.

Sorry for the late reply! I’ve been giving them less than half of their pellet bowls for a few days and I’ve been thinking of giving them half tomorrow.
