What is the difference between the four adult rabbit foods?
Choosing the right pellet doesn’t have to be confusing. In this post, we explain the differences between our four adult rabbit options so you can shop with confidence and keep your pet thriving!
The concentrated pellet in the green bag is timothy-based and very dense nutrition and should be fed in very small measured amounts based upon weight making it great for rabbits who eat a lot of hay and for those who may not eat a lot of pellets (tends to taste better than the free choice timothy to some rabbits). A rabbit below 6lbs for example will get only 1/8 cup per day.
The concentrated pellets in the red bag are alfalfa-based and also fed in small amounts for good hay eaters. This food is fed 1 TBS for every 2lbs of body weight. This food is great and gives a ton of energy. It's a good option for picky rabbits and tends to be a flavor favorite. We also love this one for rabbits who are said to be a bit lazy as it really seems to give them a lot of energy.
The free choice timothy pellet in the blue bag is more flexible in that it can be fed at a minimum of 1 TBS per pound, fed freely or anywhere in between. This food is basically the same formula as the measured timothy pellets but is diluted down with a lot more timothy hay so that they can eat more of it which makes it great for rabbits who may not be good hay eaters, for pairs or groups where monitoring their intake is tough or even for people who love to be able to feed a bit extra.
The original 50/50 blend of timothy and alfalfa in the blue bag with the lop on it is another flexible option. This food is great for digestive-sensitive bunnies. It’s fed the same way as the timothy free choice pellets.
