Owners of Jersey Wooly ?

[Carlee]

There are so, so many brands out there, I've totally confused myself!! :? what specific brand of rabbit feed do you purchase? Jude is about 13 months old.

I was thinking Oxbow Bunny Basics/T Rabbit Food (for adult rabbits) - it's Timothy hay-based- but should I still be getting one withalfalfa in it?And doesn't seem to have enough protein?

I'm not a fan on Oxbow products. They don't have enough protein for wool rabbits, show rabbits, or even active pet rabbits.

I use Purina Show for me and it has done well with my rabbits. I am considering Purina Pro though.

To offer a different opinion, I think Oxbow Bunny Basics T is one of the top brands that you can buy for an adult pet rabbit and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. For a wooly the fiber content will matter more than the protein, so getting enough hay, with long strands of fiber, will be a priority.
