Oxbow Essentials Bunny Basics/T Adult Rabbit Food
Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again.
Feed your adult rabbit a diet that combines essential fiber and stabilized nutrients with Oxbow Essentials Bunny Basics/T 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 Bunny Basics/T 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.
Key Benefits- Made from timothy grass meal, Essentials - Adult Rabbit is specifically designed to meet the particular nutritional needs of adult rabbits. Adult nutritional needs are lower than those of animals in the growth stage of life
- Rabbits are designed to eat and digest fiber found in plant material. Timothy grass hay provides the fiber necessary to maintain intestinal health, and makes Essentials - Adult Rabbit the veterinarian's number one choice for your adult rabbit.
- Specifically designed to meet nutritional needs of adults rabbits with its timothy-hay based formula and optimum protein levels.
- Made with natural ingredients, this product is fresh and straight from the farm!
- This product is not intended for growing, active, pregnant or nursing rabbits. Seventy-five percent of your rabbit's diet should be grass hay.

Eliza loves them!
By GuineaPigAndRabbitMom on Feb 10, 2021
When I first bought these pellets, my rabbit hated them and used her pellet dish as a litter box. After trying several different ways to feed them to her, such as scattering them in her salads and hay, she still refused to eat them. I gave up on feeding the pellets for a few months and then started introducing them as treats, she loved them!! 6 months later, she hops onto the storage container I store the pellets in and stomps her feet on the lid until I give her the pellets. Thank you so much Oxbow, I love how much my rabbit loves these and I love knowing that they are healthy for her!

I love it so much
By babbittherabbit on Feb 25, 2021
I love feeding my rabbits oxbow products because I actually notice a difference in them compared to other foods. Oxbow isn’t the cheapest, but I’m ok with spending the money. My rabbits were eating a different pellet food for a few weeks because it was cheaper and they seemed to like it, but I came back to oxbow after comparing the nutritional facts

Saved the day
By RabbitHappy on Feb 1, 2021
Chewy saved the day (and the bunnies). When my friend (who lives in another state a few hundred miles away from me) was ill, he told me he was running low on rabbit food and was worried about how to get food for them. I have previously used Chewy for cat food, so I looked on line and found they also have rabbit and small animal food. I ordered it to be sent to my friend. The delivery was lightening fast! My friend was very relieved and the rabbits got their meals!

Best for Rabbits needs
By Maria on Feb 19, 2021
I recommend this brand above other brands because of the fact that Oxbow doesn't use Alfalfa Meal in their pellets which isn't great for Rabbit's, they use Timothy Hay blends which is the best for Rabbit's. My Rabbit's LOVE Oxbow Pellets and I wouldn't trust any other brand.

Best pellets around
By Bunnyfriend on Feb 9, 2021
This Oxbow may seem a little pricey, but we lost a bunny from contaminated pellets that cost less. Our vet told us always Oxbow for quality. Our bunnies love these little morsels, and with a big bunch of high quality Oxbow hay they all are MUCH healthier.

Love it!!! Perfect for Claire Bear!
By Nina on Jan 12, 2021
I LOVE THIS HAY. I'm not sure why there are so many bad reviews. One thing that I noticed was that the people who had a negative experience bought the 50-pound box. I always get the 9-pound box. I think that the 9 pond box is the best kind that you can buy. Hopefully, people see this. Anyway, I love this hay.

Great food!
By ST0315 on Feb 17, 2021 Top 500 Contributor
I like this pelleted food. There are no candy pieces, so your rabbit is getting a balanced diet. The bags are nice and reseal well to keep the food fresh.

Bunnies love this!
By Misty on Nov 19, 2020
My bunnies love this stuff! And it doesn’t have alfalfa, which is another plus, because I’m not the hugest fan of giving alfalfa to adult rabbits. Also it’s really affordable. i feed it to them in addition to their veggies, and there’s another thing I like about this, it’s sweet enough that they like it, but not so sweet that they won’t eat their veggies, (which has definitely happened to me before with other food) all together completely satisfied with this product!

Adult rabbit food
By HoppyandFlash on Jan 2, 2021
We love this food. Our owner puts a small amount of these treats in a toy for us to play with. Sometimes she mixes them with hay and scatters them on the floor so we have to do some foraging.

High quality rabbit food.
By AngelRae on Jan 15, 2021
This food is high in nutrition and my rabbit doesn't waste any of it. Other foods he will throw around and not eat it. His coat is amazing from this food. Thick, glossy and beautiful.
