Are these food ingredients strange?

Could those of you who understand rabbit nutrition have a look at the ingredients list of this?

Why would food have bentonite (clay) and limestone (rock, supposedly for calcium?) in it. Isn't carob fake chocolate? Are these things strange to find in food, or is it just me?

that food looks like fluff for pet owners. Buy a real pelleted food.

Besides...you can see the corn quite obviously in it, not the best for four legged companion animals.

I didn't buy it and don't intend to. I was wondering about the contents of it.

I would pretty much avoid most of the "mixed" foods. There's a lot of stuff marketed for rabbits that isn't that great for them. Heck, I've even seen some "rabbit toys" with toxic ingredients.

Why the heck would they put bentonite in food?? They use that in cat litter to make it clump.

Those ingredients are really strange! And Carob is a powder that tastes kid of like chocolate its another kind of bean, we have carob powder and I don't see why they would put that in and some of those other weird ingredients.
