Yesterday I was in a local pet supplies store and bought a large bag of rabbit pellets for $5. The proprietor gets the pellets in huge sacks and re-bags them into smaller bags to sell. Unfortunately, the nutritional values are not written on the smaller bags, so I Googled Otter Co-op, where they're milled, to find out what's in the pellets. Here's the info:

[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]It's lacking a lot of ingredients listed on the Kaytee pellets I'm currently buying, but I'm wondering if these might be fresher and as good for Barley anyway. They are milled in Langley, near Vancouver, which is just across the Strait from me here. The price is considerably less than the Kaytee or Oxbow brands too. Any thoughts?[/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Arial][FONT=Arial,Arial]Thanks![/FONT][/FONT]
