Description
All rabbits need high fiber to keep their digestive systems working properly, plus basic vitamins and minerals to maximize their health. Essentials – Adult Rabbit Food combines needed fiber with stabilized nutrients to assure a well-balanced diet when served with Oxbow loose grass hays. Oxbow Animal Health’s founder and owner John Miller created the industry’s first timothy hay-based food for rabbits and other small herbivores, the basis of Essentials – Adult Rabbit Food.
Made from timothy grass meal, Essentials – Adult Rabbit is specifically designed to meet the particular nutritional needs of adult rabbits. Adult nutritional needs are lower than those of animals in the growth stage of life.
Rabbits are designed to eat and digest fiber found in plant material. Timothy grass hay provides the fiber necessary to maintain intestinal health, and makes Essentials – Adult Rabbit the veterinarian’s number one choice for your adult rabbit.
NOTE:
Available in 5 & 10 lb bags.
FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS:
Always change your rabbit’s food gradually to allow the digestive system time to adapt. Some rabbits are resistant to change, so time and patience are needed when switching feeds.
Mature Rabbits (over 1 year)
1-4 lb. = 1/8 cup daily
4-8 lb. = 1/4-1/3 cup daily
8-10 lb. = 1/3-1/2 cup daily
10 lb.+ = 3/4 cup daily
Feed in addition to unlimited grass hay.
Transitioning to a New Food: Week 1, mix 3 parts current food with 1 part new
Please note that these are guidelines. If your rabbit is overweight or underweight, please contact your veterinarian or Oxbow for more specific feeding information.”
