Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Can Garden Select Young Rabbit Food be fed alongside alfalfa hay?

Ans: Yes. While pellets provide complete nutrition, offering alfalfa hay in small quantities supports variety and additional calcium for young rabbits.

Q2: What makes this formula non-GMO?

Ans: All ingredients are sourced from non-genetically engineered crops, verified by Oxbow’s stringent quality controls to ensure natural nutrition.

Q3: How do I transition my rabbit to this food?

Ans: Gradually mix pellets with your rabbit’s current diet over 4 weeks, increasing Garden Select proportion weekly to ensure digestive comfort.

Q4: Is this food suitable for pregnant or nursing rabbits?

Ans: Yes. The high protein and calcium content support the increased nutritional demands of pregnancy and lactation in rabbits under one year.
