Harlan Teklad make laboratory grade feedsand beddings. i feed my rats HT (Harlan Teklad) and it is the best foodyou can get in the rattie world. but i was wondering if their rabbitpellet is just as good as their rodent lab blocks. here is a link tothe ingredients and analysis:http://www.teklad.com/global/data/2031.htm

Both of their Diets are alfalfa based.



[align=justify]Alfalfa is good for younger and growing rabbits, but notfor grown and older bunnies. Correct me if I'mwrong.I use Oxbow Bunny BasicT for my 8 month Netherland Dwarf and she lovesit.[/align]

I've never heard of them, but everyone who usesOxbow seems to love them. I feed Kaytee Timothy Complete, Ihonestly wouldn't feed anything else that is Kaytee, but I really likethis stuff.

I also have rats and am always looking for a good lab block...where doyou get this kind? I was going to get some through Oxbow, butthey are SO expensive.
