Sorry to post another thread all, but I had some more concerns about my new bun. So his previous owner had him on Manna Pro Gro, and gave me a small baggie of his food to take with me. I couldn’t find it in my area and went to have it shipped but it was sent to an old address, and he ran out of food so I went out and bought Science Selective junior rabbit food (he’s 5 months). Normally I would have him on Oxbow young rabbit, but because he’s an angora I’m worried about his protein intake and I tried to grab the least junky highest protein rabbit food I could find in a pinch.
my major concern is, of course, that I didn’t have any of his previous food left so I couldn’t slowly transition him to the new food. I saw that this can even kill bunnies, and I’m super worried about him. He’s eating normal (he loves the new pellets) and pooping, although his poop is kind of ovaly. What should I be looking for in terms ofsigns of tummy distress? Do you think he’ll do alright with the sudden food change?
I’m also just at a loss as to what to feed this bun long term. I’ve always fed oxbow and I’m having a hard time finding high protein formulas that aren’t full of junk. Does anyone have any recommendations for an angora diet?
And since they need such high protein, I’m assuming that it’s okay for them to have alfalfa in their pellets into adulthood?
Thank you, I really really appreciate any advice anyone can lend.
