Healthy rabbit food for your growing bunny that has all the essential nutrients and doesn’t smell.
My baby lion head can’t stop eating this fast enough and has excellent health because of it. It is reasonably, priced and healthy and perfect for your growing rabbit. The food doesn’t smell and comes in a fresh easy to seal bag.

Great quality
My bunny was on this until I made the switch to the adult. The quality is great and she has had zero tummy issues with this brand. It smells like hay which I love LOL. I’ve only received one bag in a year that wasn’t as fresh as the others and it was an easy exchange. Will buy this brand forever! Photo of my bunny for fun.

Convenient to order—high quality pellets my bun loves.
My bunny’s pellet of choice—she anticipates her morning pellet feed. I’ve found it’s easier ordering it on Prime and receiving it at my doorstep than having to take the train back & forth just to go to the pet store. Prompt delivery, as always.

Great quality food
The food itself is 5-star quality. Our rabbit is a huge fan and we will definitely continue to buy this for him. I’m rating it 4 stars because the resealable feature on the bag is not good

So some people may complain that their bunnies don’t want to eat it, that’s probably because if they’re used to eating the equivalent of ‘junk food’ they won’t want to switch over to something healthy that probably doesn’t taste as good. I experienced this, you can either give them as much hay as they want and wait until they start picking at the pellets and learn to love them, or (they should always have fresh hay) give them less and less of their old food, so when they’re hungry they’ll eat the new food. Mixing it doesn’t tend to work as they can easily pick out the food they want.This is one of the best quality bunny foods out there, another high quality one being the adult version of this bunny food (it switches out the tastier alfalfa hay for timothy. It has high protein and high fibre (22%!) most other brands aren’t close to this percent of fibre, which is very important for keeping their sensitive gut moving.

バニーベイシックスに切り替えてから、便の状態が良くなりました。ウチのウサギさん達には、合っていたようです。

I love Oxbow products for my rabbit. All their food products are made with good ingredients, and they quality is amazing. My animals are not only receiving the nutrition they needed, but my bunny lives everything I purchase from them, from food to accessory items. Their quality is always up to standard and the pricing is fair for what you receive…always satisfied
