Any rabbit food with seeds should be avoided at all costs. Rabbits have very specialized gi tracts that have more similarities to a horse than say a hamster or gerbil. The most important element of a rabbit's diet is unlimited hay, preferablly timothy for older bunnies. This is also vital to a bunny's health since, unlike cats, they are unable to cough up any furballs that may form from hair swallowed during grooming. The hay helps to push the hair and other obstructions along the gi tract. Pellets shouldn't be the bun's only source of hay and should never have seeds or corn. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Kaytee Fiesta Max Rabbit Food, 4-1/2-Pound Bag (Misc.) Kaytee brand pellets are a perfect example of what NOT to feed your pet bunny. The seeds and other stuff they put in it are VERY BAD for rabbits! They also put animal by-products in their pellets, which is very unhealthy for bunnies as they are naturally vegan. I use Oxbow Bunny Basic T, though I think it might have a new name now. It's timothy-based which is great for your rabbit! The majority of my bunnies' food is organic vegetables. I only give them 1/4 cup of pellets a day and two cups of vegetables (I determine this based on their weight, so this might not be enough for your bunny). Not all vegetables are good for your bunny, so do your research! The House Rabbit Society is an excellent source to look into! I used to feed my bunnies crap like Kaytee pellets and hay, and they constantly had messed up tummies, and I didn't know what I was doing wrong until I did research and realized that bunnies had a much more complex diet than I thought.

I only feed her a 1/4 cup per day because she also gets unlimited hay and daily fresh veggies so this make a nice morning breakfast. |
