Best kind of pellets

[goneforbaroque]

I'm looking for 'the best' kind of pellet available on the market. Suggestions? Preferences?

Purina Rabbit Chow!

The two top brands I recommend are Oxbow and American Pet Diner. The advantage with Oxbow is that it is available at a lot of retail outlets. I prefer APD (have fed it for 6 years), but it is only available online and the shipping costs are usually more than the pellets cost. I pay around $52 for 25 lbs. A lot of people have commented that APD is less dusty than Oxbow.

I feed red mills rabbit pellets I love them, don't know if they are just available in Ireland or not

I recommened Excel Rabbit. I have tried about 4 different pellets and I find my rabbits like this one the best. If it is available in CA, I dont know. I have heard that some people from America have used it but maybe they had it shipped.

I used to feed Oxbow but it doesn't seem to be available in my new area. The most readily available pellet seems to be KayTee adult rabbit pellets and I really don't know anything about that.

For an adult rabbit, make sure the pellets are made from Timothy hay, no alfalfa. Look for high fiber and LOW protein in a pellet. Protein should not be over 14%. Fiber should be at the very least 18%, more is better. And, of course, no junk in it, ie, dried carrots, sunflower seeds, etc. Just pellets. All of the American brands stated above are good ones (sorry, I don't know about European brands). If you need to get a bag at a pet store, Petco sells Zupreem's "Nature's Promise". My buns hated Oxbow, but love Zupreem and it's fiber content is excellent while its protein is acceptable. Stay away from KayTee if you can. I've never seen a pellet of theirs that wasn't junk.

That's what I'd heard but I'm having a hard time finding others. I'll keep looking though.

In Australia i struggle to find something better than Oxbow BB/T

 

[Leah636]

Me too! Purina just came out with a new line called "Natural AdvantEdge." It's made from all fresh, natural ingredients. They have more info on their website. (For some reason it won't let me link to it?)

I love Oxbow Organic Rabbit. My buns love it too!
