Feed your adult rabbit a diet that combines essential fiber and stabilized nutrients with Oxbow Essentials Adult Rabbit Food. Adult rabbits have different nutritional needs than juveniles. They still need a lot of fiber to keep their digestive systems working properly and basic vitamins and minerals, but not as much as growing rabbits. Oxbow Essentials Adult Rabbit Food is specifically designed to meet the particular nutritional needs of adult rabbits. It is made from timothy grass hay to aid in digestion and contains optimum protein and calcium-to-phosphorous levels. To transition your rabbit to his new food, gradually replace his current food with the new food over a four-week time period to prevent digestive issues and finicky eating patterns.
This product is not intended for growing, active, pregnant or nursing rabbits. We encourage pet owners to feed Oxbow Essentials Young Rabbit Food during these stages of life.
Transition Instructions
Week 1, mix 3 parts current food with 1 part new food. Week 2, mix 2 parts current food with 2 parts new food. Week 3, mix 1 part current food with 3 parts new food. Week four, feed Essentials - Adult Rabbit exclusively.

what's the difference between this food and the oxbow garden select? Is this food heathier?
Answer by • Jul 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. For a complete list of ingredients, click on the 'Nutritional Info' tab, next to the 'Description' tab, below the product photos.
As with all of the Oxbow products, this food is the best. We have been using their foods and treats for ten years and have not been disappointed. They are healthy, loved by all of our rabbits, made in the USA, and dependably high-quality.

Gone down hill
They were bought out this year.
Their original formula contained ZERO soy!
For the last, probably 5-8yrs, now, soy has been listed as an ingredient, but rather low on the list.
I am appalled to read today's Ingredient list!!! SOY, SOY, SOY, SOY!
Never feed soy ANYTHING to male rabbits! For one thing, they lose the ruff under their neck. I have noticed this happen to my male bunny ever since they began adding soy. Soy is a phyto-ESTROGEN! Acts the same way in humans!
I have fed Oxbow for nearly 30yrs to my buns. I'm heart broken that they were bought out, & are systematically being destroyed. :"(

Best for bunnies
Oxbow Adult Rabbit Pellets are what my veterinarian suggested, as it is a well-balanced feed for bunnies. It has clear feeding directions, and all my bunnies it. Oxbow is a brand we can trust.

Quality pelleted feed for bunnies
Our therapy bunnies have a diet primarily made up of quality timothy hay but they enjoy a small amount of pellets each day too. Oxbow does a great job of high quality ingredients without unnecessary filler.

Rabbit approves
My bunny seems to like it but has not given me her opinion. So I am assuming she approves.

Amazing food
My 3 rabbits love oxbows food! I'm allergic to Timothy hay and I can only feed them orchard hay, so this Timothy hay first ingredient is wonderful. Over the years I've switched different brands and I'm most satisfied with this one. I would definitely recommend it for all adult rabbits!

Excellent quality
This is a great feed. My rabbit loves it and eats it really soon after l put it in her cage. Unlike other feed that I have fed. Unfortunately the price increased and that is why I am unable to give full rating.
