Oxbow Essentials Bunny Basics/T Adult Rabbit Food

In 1997 two adult Dutch mix rabbits, Bunnie and Clyde, were abandoned on my street. Closest rabbit savvy vet was 55 miles away. She recommended Oxbow pellets (and hay). I complied because I knew nothing about rabbits. Have been an Oxbow “everything” user ever since. Oxbow set the standard of care for small critters. I don’t know exactly how old these buns were when I found them, but Clyde was with me over 10 years and Bunnie was with me 14+ years—astonishing lifespans that long ago. After Bunnie’s passing, I soon adopted Sassafras from a shelter in 2011. She was reported to be 2-3 years old at that time. She has been on Oxbow products since adoption, and is so healthy that my vet doesn’t even In 1997 two adult Dutch mix rabbits, Bunnie and Clyde, were abandoned on my street.

I attribute the long, happy lives of my bunnies to Oxbow products, especially the timothy based pellets. In 1997 I don’t remember any timothy pellet other than Oxbow. Others were alfalfa based and therefore not appropriate for adult buns. … more

I want to begin by saying, I have 4 bunnies. So, you can imagine how much food they go through in a week. Usually I see massive bags of rabbit food at other retailers, but they are all poor quality pellets that contain seeds and various ingredients rabbits shouldn't be eating. I am glad Chewy offers a large bag of Oxbow pellets so I don't have to spend a fortune on multiple small bags. I am saving money and I don't have to skimp on quality. Very happy!

My bunny loves this stuff so much she escaped her pen and chewed a nice big hole in the bag! Don’t worry, she only ingested food, not plastic. The resealable feature is incredibly handy otherwise! Plus the feeding guide is helpful since I’m a first-time rabbit owner. And the 25-pound bag means I only have to order every couple months or so, which is going to save me so much money! Thanks Chewy!

Recently I got bunnies and they were eating that unhealthy food filled with dyes and artificial junk. I switch them to this and added more hay to their diet and they look so much better! I would recommend this to any bunny owner!

I have not fed my rabbit any other brand. The ingredients are safe for domestic adult rabbits. I volunteer at the humane society and this is the food we sell and give the bunnies up for adoption. I wouldn't trust any other brand.

I did a little research on rabbit pellets, because my indoor rabbit is overweight. This is one of the better brands as far as the protein fat ratios plus the other ingredients rabbits need. Before this my rabbit had the food with all the colors and like most rabbits he only ate the colorful unhealthy pieces which can lead to selective eating. I found out thru research that I was over feeding him. Pellets should be a small portion to the daily diet. My bun gobbles it down so it must be good cuz he is spoiled.We have the best of both worlds it’s good for him and He likes it. Chewy makes it easy with great selections, reasonable prices, and auto shipment.

This is probably the 5th brand of rabbit food we have used. Others have smelled musty, been crumbly (as if it had been moist), or just added bits of colored food (supposedly for vitamins and a more diverse look). This is a no frills, excellent quality food without colorants or gimmicks. Smaller pellet size, that are appropriately dense, are better for the rabbit with less waste per feeding. The large size bag provides a more cost effective alternative to purchasing small bags at local pet stores. Really, this is the best size, for this quality food. Great addition to grazing in the yard!

Ruby is a 4 year old Netherland Dwarf Rabbit. She has beautiful blue eyes and fur of the softest silk. Recently we switched her to Oxbow Adult pellets, and she very much approves! The pellets smell great and are nice and green. She is starting her fall molt this week, and I bet her coat will be thick and soft as ever. We will be anOxbow Family for a long time!

My 3 rabbits love this food. they can't get enough of it and beg for it at feeding time. A much different reaction from their old food

My vet is very serious about the health of small critters, and this is the only brand he recommends for rabbits. My rabbit likes, it too!
