What do people think of this pellet?

It's kinda hard to find a decent pellet over here...looking at this, nothing jumps out as being bad to me, but figured I'd check here first, anyway!

Which one on the site are you asking about? The link didn't take me directly there so I was looking at their pellets under "rabbit" The weston one doesn't look good to me-10% fiber vs. the 25% in Oxbow. Fiber is essential in their food. Just something that popped out to me right away about that.

Dr Moore in Rabbit nutrition recommends that pellets have the following protein, fat & fiber.
rabbit type protein fat fiber
long-haired 17-20 6-8 16-20
large breeds 17-20 6-8 16-20
lactating does 17-20 1-5 16-20
age 3-9 weeks 12-13 1-5 20-25
live outdoors 17-20 6-8 16-20
most others 13-17 1-5 16-20

ooh, sorry the link is broken. But yes, the Weston one.

The thing is we don't have Oxbow over here; and I haven't yet found a decent pellet I'm happy with. This one looks better than his current one, ingredients wise, and the protein and fat levels look ok; it's a case of choosing the best of a bad deal, so I'm thinking the fibre levels won't matter too much, surely? Since he gets fibre from his hay 24/7, and he only gets pellets twice daily?

This is his current one, and the fibre is only a little higher, but I really don't like the ingredients.

No I wouldn't feed the 2nd one any longer than you have to.
