I'm not Irish, but I would presume they have pellet food over there. The brands we have over here are Excel, Science Selective and a few other types that are less wide spread but more well known to other areas. Given this reply is useles,s this is more of a shameless bump than anything, lol.

Well my rabbits don't really get pellets because all my petshops only carry the colours kind. Irishlops is in NI so part of the UK so it might be different there

I wonder what Michaela uses.

I've used the Excel pellets before and they are available in most shops here but I prefer the Bunnydream pellets I order online from Zooplus or)xbow timothy pellets from the UK (that cost me an arm and a leg) I think most of the UK stuff would be available in NI

Of course there are good feeds here. All the pellets available in England are available here too. We aren't some remote part of the world! Yep, Irishlops is in the same place as me, in fact she is in a city so pellets should be more readily available to her. There is a Pets at Home in Derry city.

Science Selective, all varieties of Excel, Pets at Home own brand nuggets are decent too. Oxbow can be ordered online, and probably Allen and Page too, if you really wanted it.

Funny how they can't travel the extra few miles with some decent food.

Are there no rabbit pellets in shops near you? Are you not close to Sabine? What rabbit foods do they have?

I think irishbunny lives in the countryside. I'm in the suburbs of a city

I think that irishlops won't mind me saying that she pm'd me about her rabbit's death so I asked her what she fed her rabbits. She said she fed muesli (I didn't know what it was) and when she explained it I thought that it wasn't healthy food for a bunny and that she should change the food that she feeds to a regular plellet. That is why I originally posted this. i though some other irish lasses could help her find a good pellet instead of feeding the stuff that she's been using.
thanks everyone from all countries

I didn't think that you were in a remote part of the world ..butI thought that maybe irish lops was young and maybe didn't buy the rabbit food herself.

As I said earlier, particularily if getting to a store is a problem, Zooplus delivers for free if you spent a certain amount and they do the bunnydream range. They are similar to Excel just bigger chunks. I prefer them to Excel as the bunnies seem to like them slightly less than Excel and don't gorge them as quickly. My lot loved the Excel so much that I sometimes lost track of how much I had given them and refilled the bowl to frequently, and I ended up finding sticky poos in the cages - always a sign for me that they were overdoing the pellets. It doesn't seem to happen with the bunnydream trimellos. They polish them off too but not as fast

There are pellets but not the kind without the coloured bits, I don't like that sort of food so I don't feed much of it. The good petshops in cities sell the good quality pellets, I live nearly an hour away from a decent citypetshop and I'm only there every few months so I only have the coloured kind available to me I live about 2 and half hours from Sabine.
