For indoor, fixed rabbits, the protein is too high and the fiber too low. It's made with "by-products" -- not good. There are far better options available. The following link explains what to look for in a good pellet food. The chart compares numerous brands from the UK. There are a few on there that are available in the US. http://www.therabbithouse.com/diet/rabbit-food-comparison.asp In the US, Science Selective and Oxbow are good options. You can see those here.
