Alfalfa pellets?

[swarning1222]

When I got my buns a year ago i researched online what type of percentage of ingredients and all that should be in their pellets, I found a brand at Walmart called small world and it seemed to be good. Now I'm reading that they shouldn't have pellets that have alfalfa in them, is this true?!

And does anybody else use small world? My rabbits seem to love it. It's just plain pellets, no fruit or any of that garbage mixed in. But now I'm worried they will have GI problems from feeding them this food :/

How old are your rabbits?

 

[swarning1222]

Just about a year old

They wont have "gi problems" from feeding that food, but its best for adult rabbits to have timothy based pellets to lower the amount of fat, protein, and calcium their intaking. Issues it can lead to are kidney problems, bladder sludge, etc.

If your rabbits are fixed it would be better to switch to Timothy based pellets.

Rabbits under 6 months are supposed to be switched to timothy based pellets
