Review: Healthy rabbit food for your growing bunny that has all the essential nutrients and doesn't smell. - My baby lion head can't stop eating this fast enough and has excellent health because of it. It is reasonably, priced and healthy and perfect for your growing rabbit. The food doesn't smell and comes in a fresh easy to seal bag.
Review: Quality Rabbit Nutrition You Can Trust - As a longtime rabbit owner and small animal enthusiast, I've gone through several brands of pellets over the years, and Oxbow Essentials Adult Rabbit Food continues to stand out as one of the best. If you're serious about your rabbit’s long-term health and well-being, this is a product worth considering. ✅ High-Quality Ingredients & Nutrition The first thing I look for in rabbit food is whether it’s based on timothy hay, which adult rabbits need for optimal digestion. Oxbow delivers here—this formula is high in fiber, which supports healthy gut motility and helps prevent GI stasis (a common concern for rabbit owners). Unlike cheaper brands that add sugary fillers or too many high-calorie ingredients, Oxbow keeps it clean, simple, and species-appropriate. It also includes essential vitamins and minerals, which are great for coat health, immune support, and overall vitality. 🐇 My Rabbit’s Reaction My rabbit took to this food immediately—no transition issues or hesitation. He eagerly eats his measured portion every day and still maintains a strong appetite for hay, which is crucial. His coat is shiny, his droppings are healthy and well-formed, and his energy levels are great. 📦 Packaging & Freshness The 10 lb. bag is resealable and easy to store, and the pellets arrive fresh with no signs of dust or spoilage. I appreciate that it’s made in the USA, which gives me more confidence in quality control and sourcing. 🌿 What I Like Most Made with timothy hay as the primary ingredient Veterinarian-recommended formula No added sugars, artificial preservatives, or mystery ingredients Pellet size is appropriate—not too large or small Excellent balance between quality and price per pound 🔍 Final Thoughts If you're looking for a nutritionally complete and rabbit-appropriate pellet that promotes long-term health, Oxbow Essentials is a top-tier choice. I've trusted this brand for years and continue to recommend it to both new and experienced rabbit owners. A staple in my rabbit’s diet—and one I’m happy to keep repurchasing.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this recommended for a pregnant or lactating doe?**
A: It can be used for pregnant and lactating as it has alfalfa in it. Young rabbit food is made of alfalfa since babies need the nutrients to grow and gain a healthy weight etc. The package does show how much to feed as well.

**Q: I have a young rabbit how long will a 10lb bag last**
A: it will depend on how much you feed your bunny. However, I still have a little over a 1/4 bag left and i received my bag on June 1st. My bunny wastes her food as well. The 10lb bag is a price for the money. Hope this helps.

**Q: What're nutritional %s of fiber, protein, fat, calcium/phosphorous, vit. d, vit, e, and vit, a in this pellet food? also, top 5 ingredients listed...?**
A: Top five ingredients: Timothy Grass Meal, Soybean Hulls, Wheat Middlings, Soybean Meal, Cane Molasses.   Guaranteed Analysis: Crude Protein (min) 14%; Crude Fat (min) 2%; Crude Fiber (min) 25%; Crude Fiber (max) 29%; Moisture (max) 10%; Calcium (min) 0.35%; Calcium (max) 0.85%; Phosphorus (min) 0.25%; Salt (min) 0.5%; Salt (max) 1%; Copper (min) 30ppm; Vitamin A (min) 19,000 IU/kg; Vitamin D (min) 900 IU/kg; Vitamin E (min) 190 IU/kg.All the above information is printed on the bag.

**Q: What is the difference between this product and oxbow animal health alfalfa hay, 9-pound?**
A: Essentials Young Rabbit (formerly called Bunny Basics) is a fortified pelleted diet. Oxbow’s complete and balanced young rabbit pellets are formulated to meet the specific nutritional needs of young rabbits under the age of 12-months. Essentials Young Rabbit is an alfalfa based diet and provides optimal protein and fiber for healthy digestion, as well as additional micronutrients and a higher caloric value needed to keep up with those quickly maturing bodies. Our 9 lbs alfalfa hay is simply loose alfalfa hay. When used in conjunction with our Essentials Young Rabbit, loose alfalfa hay provides added vital nutrients in the daily diet of young animals and should be offered in small quantities daily, along with unlimited quantities of a variety of grass hays (Western Timothy, Oat, Orchard, Botanical, etc). 
Thank you

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality
*by L***E on December 29, 2025*

My bunny was on this until I made the switch to the adult. The quality is great and she has had zero tummy issues with this brand. It smells like hay which I love LOL. I’ve only received one bag in a year that wasn’t as fresh as the others and it was an easy exchange. Will buy this brand forever! Photo of my bunny for fun.
