  There are lots of good brands out there these days. I’ve fed both Oxbow adult essentials and Sherwood timothy, and my bunnies did well on both. I’ve also heard good things about Science Selective but haven’t fed them myself, other than as a training treat (the nuggets are a bigger size so they are nice for training). I like to compare labels. The main things to look at first are fiber content (at least 18-22%) and whether the first ingredient is grass hay. Avoid brands that have museli type ingredients or different shapes etc, because these encourage selective eating.

  i give my buns oxbow garden select and they love it !, try to avoid pellet mixes with treats, seeds, fruit, or crunchy pieces mixed in. you should also look for pellets with high fiber and low protein, higher protein is usually ok for younger bunnies. hope this helps 🙂
