Sherwood Baby Rabbit Food. Hay-Based Pellet. No Wheat, Corn, or Soy for Better Digestion. 4.5 lbs

Product description

Tip 1: Encourage your pet rabbit to eat more hay and drink more water

by feeding less of these items:

Feed less salads, greens, veggies, and fruits Feed less grain and soy found in most pellets and treats

These food items are sweeter than hay and increase digestive health problems.

When your rabbit eats more dry hay they will drink more water for better urinary health

Tip 2: Watch for the warning signs of digestive upset (risk of stasis)

Digestive health, G.I. tract motility, energy and appetite are all closely related to each other. If one declines then the others will decline too. You need to watch out for:

malformed poops (not round)un-eaten cecotropeslow energy or less active than normallow appetite – won’t eat favorite treat?

Tip 3: Feeding greens will increase signs of digestive upset

Test this for yourself. We did!

Feeding even a small amount of greens to a 6 pound rabbit caused these signs of digestive upset to appear within a few days, and it took over a week of not feeding any greens to fix it.

Tip 4: If hay is the first ingredient, is the formula mostly hay? No!

Excess grain and soy is not a natural part of your rabbits diet and will increase the signs of digestive upset.

Grain and soy, in multiple forms, is often hidden in pellets that have hay as the first ingredient.

These pellets are usually less than 35% hay!

Tip 5: Feed real hay and no substitutes!

Sherwood’s formulas contain real hay and don’t use low-cost ingredients, like soybean hulls or oat hulls, as an alternative to using real hay.
