For years I bought pellets from the local feed store. However, he has recently retired and now I am in a quandry!
I remember the feed store guy once telling me it was important that rabbit pellets have equal amounts of protein and fiber and his rabbit food had 15% protein and 15% fiber. Beyound that I don't know what was in the food.
I bought Manna Pro from TSC. ( http://www.mannapro.com/products/rabbit/select-series-feed/nutritional-information/ ) My 2 rabbits (Dutch and mini lop) have been eating it for about 3 weeks and they are losing weight!! Both of them started at 4.5 lbs and now weigh about 3.75 lbs!
Could it be the food? It seems nutritious, but maybe it's not as digestable? I don't see any extra cecals, or anything like that.
