suncured alfalfa meal....

So this feed's ingredients include "suncured alfalfa meal." Is that a good thing for adult bunnies? I didn't think it was??

Alfalfa is a bit rich for older bunnies. It's good to wean bunnies off alfalfa once they hit that 8-9 months. Though alfalfa is excellent for pregnant does and kits, it's a bit too much for males and spayed does. It can make them fat.

I'd go with a Timothy based pellet, but that's just me.

Thanks, Z. I was thinking the same thing. But, of course, 2 of my bunnies are still young so I will have to start buying 2 different kinds!
