Questions & Answers

Is this something to be fed isntead of hay or do you put it with? Like can this be fed as primary food for adult rabbits.
Answer by ChewyMar 29, 2019
The manufacturer recommends that 75% of a rabbits diet be grass hay, 20% be a fortified food (such as this) and 5% be treats and greens.

How soon can my bunny start this? He is 2 months old.
Answer by ChewyApr 27, 2018
This food is intended for rabbits 1 years old and up.

Does it expire
Answer by ChewyAug 19, 2018
This food will have an expiration date. Every expiration date will be different for each bag, as different batches are constantly being produced. The expiration date will be stamped on the bag to reference.

what's the difference between this food and the oxbow garden select? Is this food heathier?
Answer by ChewyJul 21, 2019
The Oxbow Essentials Bunny Basics/T Adult Rabbit Food specifically designed to meet the particular nutritional needs of adult rabbits. The Oxbow Garden Select Adult Rabbit Food includes yellow pea, tomato, rosemary and thyme for a tasty variety. The ingredients in both foods are different and enhances your rabbits diet in different ways.

New formula is awful

What happened? This had been our go to rabbit feed for years. Now it looks like green rice, the pellets are so oddly tiny, and none of my rabbits will touch it. Really disappointing. And now we're on the frantic hunt for a replacement.

Great for my bunnies!

Love that these come in large sizes, my bunnies love their pellets and sometimes I even use these as rewards during training. Both my vet and the humane society I adopted from also use this food, it's great for healthy adult rabbits

love!!!

I love that chewy offers such bigger bags than my local store! We LOVE this brand for our bunny and chewy has saved us a good bit of money because we buy one big bag and it lasts us nearly 5-6 months!

Outstanding Service and Product!

I would like to give a five-star plus rating to dear Ericka S. who helped me place an order on July 7th of this year. Ericka is an outstanding representative of Chewy. She was extremely patient and polite and competent and conscientious, helping me place an order for the Oxbow Essentials Adult Rabbit Food, which is the only food that I give to our bunny. With sincere appreciation, Lynda

Exceptionally yummy

As a refined bunny with sophisticated taste, I love Oxbow food. It’s always fresh, balanced, and quality. (Big fan of their hay and treats, too). My parents like this because they say it’s healthy, but I just think it’s yummy. To be honest, I lose my cool most mornings and start honking with glee when I hear breakfast hit my bowl. 10/10, highly recommend. Chef’s kiss.

Our buns say it’s yummy!

We have two rabbits and they love this food. Great deal and nice that it’s a huge bag.

Not a fan

Bunnies thought this was OK, not huge fans. I don’t like some of the ingredients like soybeans, molasses, and wheat, as these are things that bunnies can’t digest well and can easily muck up their digestive systems. Compared to Oxbow’s more natural alternative line, it looks and smells staler. Pellets aren’t as green and don’t smell as sweet or fresh. Not a bad food, but not our favorite.

My bunnies love these pellets

The Oxbow BBT pellets are the most recommended for adult rabbits and my bunnies just love them.

Great food

My rabbits love this food. Their favorite time of day is when they get their pellets. Another great thing is some of the other brands have a bunch of smushed pellets in the bottom but this brand doesn’t.
