  I have a young rabbit around 3-4 months old and I bought her a new bale of hay today from Tractor Supply Company. It is DuMOR brand Alfalfa and Timothy Chopped Hay for horses. I figured it would be fine to feed to rabbits, however after bringing it home I’ve realized it also has a few other ingredients (molasses, soybean oil, and propionic acid) which I wasn’t sure were healthy for rabbits. I’ve looked through my Oxbow pellet ingredients and both cane molasses and soybean oil are present in them, so I figured it is fine, but I want to see what your guys’ opinion is? It will be just as easy for me to go back to the store and exchange it for a Standlee bale of hay which is what I was originally looking for, but I couldn’t find it on the shelf so I got this instead.
  
  Here’s a pic of the back of it:
  
  What’s weird is I can’t even find this product on TractorSupply.com or on DuMOR’s website so that’s why I’ve attached a pic.
  
  Thanks!

  I don’t know why the hay has additives, that to me is very strange. My initial concern was that and the alfalfa, but since your bunny is young alfalfa hay is not a problem. If it were me, I would probably return and exchange it for a hay that doesn’t have any additives.

  Thanks Azerane, I found it very odd as well but perhaps it’s because its chopped hay and the molasses and soybean oil keep it together? I don’t know. I’m just going to exchange it for a Standlee bale.
