Oxbow Animal Health
Vet Recommended Herbivore Feed Products
Based on a family farm in Nebraska, USA, Oxbow Animal Health is a worldwide supplier of premium life-stage feeds and supportive care products for small herbivores. Oxbow's products are used and recommended by top exotic animal veterinarians across Australia and around the globe.
Did you know that grains, nuts and corn are not ideal for your rabbit or guinea pig? They contain lots of starches and oils and have an inverse calcium to phosphorus ratio to what is needed. Most pellets and mixes have a lot of these fattening ingredients. These animals are designed to digest predominately hay, grass and leaves.
So choosing an Oxbow pellet that is based on grass hay, not grains, makes good sense.
We recommend a diet that includes: 75% grass hay/grass(for fibre and nutrients - see Oxbow's Western Timothy & Botanical Hays), measured amounts of high quality, grass-based Oxbow pellets (for fibre and life-stage appropriate nutrients and vitamins) and a limited range of appropriate veggies.
Bunny Basics/T
1 x Bag of Pellets (2.25kg)
Bunny Basics/T is specifically designed to meet the particular nutritional needs of adult rabbits (1 yr and older). It's base of Timothy grass hay provides the lower calcium, lower protein and higher fibre necessary to maintain optimal health and makes Bunny Basics/T the exotic animal veterinarian's #1 choice for adult rabbits.
Bunny Basics /T is not recommended for growing, gestating or lactating rabbits.
If your rabbit is under one year old, gestating or lactating, we recommend Oxbow's Bunny Basics 15/23 - the fortified pellet for bunnies with higher nutrient requirements. 15/23 is also good for underweight rescue bunnies and elderly bunnies that are having a hard time maintaining weight.
