Oxbow Essentials Bunny Basics/T Adult Rabbit Food
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.
Oxbow recently went through a packaging change. Customers may receive old packaging during this transition, but it's still the same great formula!

Oxbow is by far my favorite brand to buy from for rabbit supplies. I have yet to buy treats from them, but their pellets are amazing. The pellets are green and smell great. My rabbit, Storm, loves them. I have yet to buy treats from Oxbow, but I look forward to it in the future. This is the cheapest way to buy them for me. At the pet store, I've seen ten to twenty-five pound bags get up to $54. I highly recommend all Oxbow products, including toys and treats, I cannot wait to try everything they have to offer.

My 12 year old rabbit loves this food. We purchase it from Chewey because it is always fresh and arrives on time when needed by the auto ship they provide. I highly recommend Chewey because their prices are competitive, their helpful, professional and very friendly staff, as well as, superior quality products.

When i would feed other types of bunny pellets like purina or kaytee to my bunny he would get gassy and irregular. Once i switched to oxbow ive noticed a huge difference. Hes nolonger gassy, his fur is shinier and softer and he seems more energetic. Totally worth the extra money!

I've fed this for a very long time. Once I found the price Chewy had for it, I never bought it in stores again. It's a healthy, timothy based pellet which is exactly what they need! Every rabbit I've ever had has gone crazy for these pellets.

I've had bunnies for years. Oxbow has been the best and most consistent feed throughout these times. I've seen the least GI upset and everyone of my buns has enjoyed it. I highly recommend this food to all owners.

My two rabbits love these pellets! I hadn't found a brand that they liked until I got oxbow. They used to waste at least half of the other stuff I was buying for them

I'm very pleased to have found this site. I was able to purchase the items I usually buy from local stores, but in larger sizes, and lower prices.

I read SO many great reviews on this product that I thought that my 4 year old buck would like it, but I was wrong, he only eats it if its mixed with something else. I shouldn't of gotten such a big bag (I got the 10lb bag) Any way its very good quality pellets, my rabbit is just not a huge fan of pellets. I just want to say that I love Oxbows hay and this doesn't put a dent in my love for Chewy!

I was a little worried that Smash would have a hard time transitioning to adult food from the Young Rabbit, but he did great! He's never has anything but Oxbow & he loves it! He gets so excited when he sees his daily food coming. Sometimes he would rather eat his food than his treats if that tells you anything! I don't know what the food tastes like lol but it must be pretty darn good!!!
