  Hello,
  
  I have a 5 year old healthy (knock knock) bun and just want to explore the options how to prevent arthritis in the future. I am researching and am between Oxbow joint support and Myristol pellets. Which one do you have experience with and would recommend? I like to ideally supplement his diet as naturally as possible – ever since he turned 2, he has been on a pellet-free diet with lots of varieties of vegetables and herbs (about 8 types every day), and of course unlimited timothy hay (1st cut). His treats are occasional fruits here and there, I do not buy treats as such. His weight is monitored closely and ever since being on pellet-free diet, he is at a healthy weight for a holland lop at 2.2kg I also read that parsley and cilantro seems to help arthritis (he has that as a part of his daily veggies already), as well as turmeric. Any shared experience with preventing arthritis is appreciated. I am committed to keep this bunny healthy forever 🙂

  I have never heard of Myristol, so I can’t comment on it. My elderly bunny liked the Oxbow joint supplements. I would give him one like a treat and he was happy to eat it. I don’t know how much they really helped him though. I would say they didn’t hurt, but the benefits of joint supplements are debatable. Some bunnies seem to do better on them, while others don’t seem any different while on them.
