Science Selective Rabbit Food, 4 lb

I have a very picky bun when it comes to food, she won’t eat Timothy based pellets so I look for alfalfa based ones. She LOVES these and has eaten every piece each time since I’ve fed it to her. Big win! 🐰

I've actually only used this food as treats for my bunnies since sweet things (carrots, fruit, etc) are not particularly great for their digestive systems. This is along with their daily serving of romaine, a bowl of kibble in the evening and unlimited timothy hay and water 24 hours a day (and also unlimited love and treatment suitable for members of a royal family--jealous they have a better life than my human family or so many people out there!). Typically, I'll give a couple of these at a time throughout the day as "treats". When I first introduced these, I would keep saying the word "treat". Now, when I say "treat" they'll come running at full speed for one or two of these pellets. Again, every-bunny I have ever had in our family has loved these. I've never tried this as a full serving for evening kibble, but I know a vet tech who has (I know they use multiple brands, so I don't know if the rabbits who get these require a specific diet). I have always used a different brand for regular kibble. Also, these pellets are larger, so it's easy to hand feed as treats. So it's win/win. Happy bunnies and healthy treats! I'm sure my buns would have written a similar review, except they'd probably have asked why their human doesn't feed them this food only. :)

My bunny love it!

My bunnies LOVE these pellets. We’ve used all different kinds but over the years these have been a hit. Plus it was recommended by the vet. Now that my bunny is a senior, I do a lot of hand feeding. Since these are macaroni-sized, it’s easy to hand it to my bun versus the smaller pellets that are more traditional for rabbit food. The overall quality seems good - none of that colorful, unhealthy stuff you see in many bunny food bags.

Feeding your bunny cheap pellets is like feeding your child McDonalds 3 meals a day. We will only ever feed our buns premium hay and pellets and the difference is clear as day. We've tried multiple brands of premium pellets and you can immediately see the impact in their appetite, stool, and even general happiness! When our latest bun was adopted, he was eating a different brand of premium pellets (Dr. Pol). which he loved. We started to ween him off by mixing these pellets in together, only to find that he had cherry picked all of our pellets out and left the other pellets in the bottom of the bowl uneaten! Bun taste test passed and bunny approved!!

I used to feed my rabbit another pellet brand and he’d often eat the colored pellets or dried fruits and leave the pellets for last. I bought this brand opting for a healthier option and my bunny loves it! I started mixing it with the other brand so he could slowly get used to it but he finishes the Selective brand first.

Our rabbit loves this food. I tried switching her to the Senior/older rabbit version and she was having none of that. When they were out of this for a few days and I was careless enough to not have another bag at the ready, it was almost a full on bunny crisis. She nibbled a bit at her previous brand and I was thankful to find some of this elsewhere until Amazon got it back in stock. Now I always have an extra bag on hand.

My rabbits go nuts for these pellets! I was feeding them another top brand of timothy pellets but was given a sample of these from the rescue after my guys neuter. I mixed them in with his regular pellets and noticed that he and his bunwife picked these out first and then were begging for more. My little female has always been tiny, just a smidge underweight in my opinion so I thought these might help give her a little boost. Also note, I do not feed pellets as a meal, they get pellets as a treat. They're main diet is timothy hay and leafy green salad twice a day. They love the taste and texture of these pellets and I like that they are large pellets so I can hide them in their snufflemat which encourages foraging. I think the fact that these have alfalfa as the main ingredient makes it not a good choice as the main diet for an adult rabbit which is why i give it 4 stars. However I do feel the alfalfa content is what makes it so palatable for the rabbits and why they go nuts for this stuff!
