Dosage & Administration Instructions

• Weigh Your Rabbit First: Check your rabbit's weight before measuring out pellets, since the amount changes based on size beforehand.
• Offer Unlimited Hay: Feed pellets alongside unlimited grass hay, since most of a rabbit's diet should come from hay, not pellets.

Transitioning Foods

• Week One: Mix three parts current food with one part new food to begin a gradual transition.
• Week Two: Feed equal portions of current and new food to help your rabbit adjust comfortably.
• Week Three: Mix one part current food with three parts new food before switching completely.
• Week Four: Feed Oxbow Essentials Adult Rabbit Food exclusively once your rabbit has fully adjusted to the new diet.

Precautions

• Not for Growing or Nursing Rabbits: This food is meant for mature rabbits, not growing, pregnant, or lactating ones of any age or breed.

• Ask Before Changing Diets: Reach out to your veterinarian if your rabbit is over or underweight for guidance.

Storage Information

• Reseal After Opening: Close the bag tightly after each use to keep the pellets fresh and free of pests.
• Check the Best-By Date: Look for the date stamped on the bag, and use older bags before opening new ones whenever possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is this food used for?

Ans: This food is a uniform pellet diet built specifically for adult rabbits over one year old, with Timothy hay as the top ingredient. It supports healthy digestion and delivers complete daily vitamins and minerals in every bite instead of just isolated grains.

Q2: How much should I feed my rabbit?

Ans: The amount depends on your rabbit's weight, ranging from about an eighth of a cup for smaller rabbits up to three-quarters of a cup for rabbits over ten pounds. Always feed this alongside unlimited grass hay, since hay should make up most of their daily diet.

Q3: Is this food suitable for growing or nursing rabbits?

Ans: No, this formula is meant for mature rabbits over one year old. Growing, pregnant, or nursing rabbits have different nutritional needs and should be fed Oxbow's Young Rabbit Food instead, which is formulated with higher levels of protein and energy.

Q4: How do I switch my rabbit to this food?

Ans: Transition gradually over about four weeks, mixing in more of the new food each week while reducing the old one. By the fourth week, your rabbit should be ready to eat this food exclusively. If your rabbit seems over or underweight, check with your vet.

Q5: Why is Timothy hay the main ingredient?

Ans: Rabbits are built to eat and digest fiber, and Timothy hay provides the fiber they need to keep their digestive system healthy. Making it the top ingredient keeps this food closer to a rabbit's natural diet.

Q6: Does this food contain artificial ingredients?

Ans: No, it's free of artificial preservatives, colors, and flavors. The formula relies on Timothy hay, grains, and other purposeful ingredients rather than synthetic additives, which is part of what makes this line appealing to health-conscious pet parents looking for quality.

Q7: How should I store this food?

Ans: Close the bag tightly after each use to keep the pellets fresh and free of pests. Check the date stamped on the bag, and use up older bags before opening a new one whenever possible. This helps make sure your rabbit always gets fresh food.
