I got my new bunny Monday, and I was given a bag of Wild Harvest rabbit food. This is what she had been eating while her previous owner had her. She is only about three or four months old, but after reading the ingredients and nutritional info, I was feeling pretty iffy about it. He also gave me a bag of hay with alfalfa mixed in with it, although I bought two bags of Kaytee Timothy hay in advance.
The reviews for Wild Harvest were pretty bad for the most part, and I read that the rule of thumb with rabbit pellets should be that the fiber content should be higher than the protein, which isn't the case here.
Her stools all look fine, she is eating and drinking normally, and she is eating both the pellets and the hay.
Is the alfalfa hay alright since she is still young, or should I toss it and use Timothy hay? And is the Kaytee brand alright? Also, what should I do about the pellet situation? I'm scared to completely switch her brands and upset her tummy.
Sorry for all of the questions-- I'm still trying to find a good vet to direct these kinds of questions to.
