Oxbow Garden Select Adult Rabbit Pellets 1.81kg
1 x 1.81 kg bag of fortified pellets, designed to meet the nutritional needs of adult rabbits (over 1 year).
The rabbit food with the garden fresh flavor and aroma! Garden Select Adult Rabbit contains all of the complete nutrition you’ve come to expect from Oxbow, with a flavour profile hand-picked from Mother Nature’s kitchen. Select garden ingredients such as whole yellow pea, tomato, rosemary, and thyme give Garden Select its delectable, garden fresh flavour while a blend of three varieties of hand-selected hay provides the fibre your pet needs while encouraging enrichment and variety. All Garden Select varieties are Project Non-GMO certified.
Did you know that grains, nuts and corn are not ideal for your rabbits? They contain lots of starches and oils and have an inverse calcium to phosphorus ratio to what is needed. Most pellets and mixes have a lot of these fattening ingredients. These animals are designed to digest predominately hay, grass and leaves.
So choosing an Oxbow pellet that is based on grass hay, not grains, makes good sense!
We recommend a diet that has 3 primary components:
1. 75% grass hay/grass for fibre and nutrients - see Oxbow's Western Timothy, Orchard & Botanical Hays
2. Measured amounts of high quality, grass-based, fortified Oxbow pellets for fibre and life-stage appropriate nutrients, vitamins and minerals (too much and they don't eat their hay).
3. A limited amount of appropriate greens/veggies (too much and they don't eat their hay).
If your rabbit is under 1 year, pregnant or nursing, we recommend.... Oxbow Essentials Young Rabbit Food.
The reasons that make a rabbit/bunny a good pet choice.
Except for the reason of rabbit’s appearance which is adorable, cute and fluffy, here are some deep reasons why a bunny is a good pet choice.
1. Low maintenance. Compared to dogs, rabbits don’t need to go for a walk daily or require frequent washing. Rabbits can be easily litter trained and they can clean themselves. How good is that!!! Also, they are very quiet, you don’t need to worry about bothering your neighbour.
2. Rabbits/bunnies are financial friendly. Rabbits are vegetarian, some hay and a hand of pellets daily are all that they need. 1 bale of oaten hay and 2kg of pallets can last for at least 3 months. If you really want to spoil your rabbit, a small piece of carrot or other leafy greens can definitely cheer them up! (Kale is their favourite!)
3. One rabbit/bunny only needs very limited space to live in. Take a mini lop as an example, They only need a balcony to run around in if you live in an apartment. It is not necessary to have a backyard for them to roam (but they do love grass if you have some for them to play on)
4. If you are allergic to dogs and cats but still want to have a pet, guess what, try a bunny! They are probably the safest alternative choice.
5. Rabbits are a fantastic companion. They not only have an cute face but are also such good listeners. They can light you up when you have a bad day, and zip their mouth when you complain about your boss. Rabbit are “crepuscular”, which means when you get back home from work, they will be very excited to play with you. Some people might complain that her/his bunny doesn’t like hugging or patting. Tell you a secret, get a bunny when they are around 6-8 weeks, hug and pat them every day, let them get used to your touch, then you will find them extremely sticky.
6. Having a pet rabbit is good for kids to learn how to take care of others and also encourage them to do a consistent routine job (such as feeding and cleaning). Also, your kids will benefit from making more friends, of course, no one will say no to seeing / holding a cute bunny.
7. Rabbit's are very smart. You can teach them tricks and play games with them. There is one rabbit on YOUTUBE called ‘BINI’, he can even play basketball!!
8. What is more fun than having a rabbit? Adopting TWO rabbits! :)
