Pellets brand

[Bunny parents]

I've been feeding my girl Versele-Laga Cuni Complete. My bunny is 4 months old. At first when I went to pet store, I asked a seller there for her opinion and she gave me another brand of pellet, a local brand, at that time I don't know bunnies shouldn't eat seeds. After I read some articles about pellets, I decided to change to this Cuni Complete but I don't know if it matches with her age or not. Any suggestions ? We have no one to ask here :-/ And I don't want to believe those sellers again, ever since I'm a member of this forum, it makes me realize that many informations I have are wrong.
Thank you so much for your time.

Since I haven't spoken to you yet here, Welcome to RO!

Any way you can post the Brand and it's contents? We can better help by seeing the ingredients in the food.

Hello there ! :bunny22:

I guess we're the only one Polish bunny family here. It's so hard to find informations. I mean, we don't know anyone who has bunny in our neighbourhood. Having this forum, we can be sure that we take a good care of our girl. See you around.

:bouquet: For all bunnies !!!

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

So just look for the same ingredient amounts to start, see how close u can get to all of them. Let us know if you need any help.

Last night I search for Oxbow here but there's no Oxbow in pet shops. We need to order it through internet. We will order when this pellets will be almost over. Thanks again for your advice. However, I have another question. While we were looking for oxbow, my husband found Polish forum about bunnies, and some people said most of all pellet brands are not good for bunnies. They contain old vegetables which people cannot eat, chemistry, and Pro-biotic. So they prefer to feed their bunnies only hay and veggie. They explained that when they fed their bunny with pellets, bunny seemed to be less active, laying down whole day. Well, it's kinda confusing for me. I know that hay is the most important diet for bunnies. Feeding pellets is just for maintaining the balance of nutrition bunny should get,right ? :? Is this true about pellets ?

To my knowledge it is, but there was also a discussion on here awhile back about pelletless diet and can it work. Let me see if I can find it...

Actually, I just came across this just above your post here, in the tagged threads:

Here's the No Pellet Diet thread:
