i read somewhere, that depending on the size ofa rabbit, like small one, they are considered "matured", food should begradually switch over to the adult food

like for a week, mix in a little bit of the adult food in the babyfood, then by week two or three, there should be about 50:50 ratio,(half and half) and by the end of a month, the food should be totallyadult food

well, im just now going to buy oxbow to switch her over to it..so i was wondering which one i should buy...:?

 

[naturestee]

Peapoo should be old enough to get timothy pellets, so the Bunny Basics/T would be a good choice.

 

[peapoo_bunny]

ok..thanks...

actually i was just thinking..and she's actually older than thatbecause i got herin octoberand she wastwo months old then... so she will beeight months old aroundthe end of this month:?

Bunny Basics/T should be fine. I think I switched Devon over to timothy when he was about 8 months old.

Oxbow Bunny Basics/T.

Pebbles was 6 months old when she started on the Basics/T, and vegetables.

Rainbows!

mom went to the petstore and the feed store to see what she could find...i told her bunny basics T..

 

[peapoo_bunny]

didnt find any yesterday, but we're still looking..

I get mine online from these two places:

http://www.petfooddirect.com/store/dept.asp?dept_id=252&brand_id=524&mscssid=23CUEFK63W258MAW3W7QWQRT6PN5BVS6&x=8&y=6

http://www.ferretstore.com/foodsuptreat3.html

They are quick to ship, too.

 

[peapoo_bunny]

yeah, we might end up having to get it online,but hopefully our feedstore has it or will order some for us...thatwould be easier since the store is right up the road from us

 

[jordiwes]

We order it from our vet...

 

[peapoo_bunny]

wasnt there a site where you could find places that sell oxbow or something like that?:?

Yes, on the Oxbow home site. It's in the upper right hand corner.

If you do need to order online, I've gotten great service ordering directly from Oxbow. Why use a middleman?

 

[peapoo_bunny]

thanks! thats just what i was looking for

Shipping was so expensive from Oxbow (cost more for shipping than the product).
Then I was making trips to Calgary (3 hr. drive) to get some or having people pick some up for me.

I finally found a Vet in town that stocks them. It costs a little more than the Oxbow prices,
but I don't have to drive long distances or ship them in.

So it might be worth your while to check the Vets.

Rainbows!

well...there's a vet that sells it about15 or 20 min. away from us...so we're going to check theyre prices andsee which ones cheaper..i think the ferretstore.com is the cheapestwebsite so far, but im not sure...

Actually, I meant "middleman" for buying Oxbowonline. I order my hay directly from Oxbow becauseIcan get 50 lb boxes and it's cheaper than the store, butit's a lot cheaper to buy their pellets at my local petstore. Pellets are heavy and shipping costs a lot!

aint that the truth! kind of expensive for a bag of bunnyfood!

Shipping is free at theferretstore.com if your order is $35 or more, but the prices are a little higher.
