Essentials ADULT Rabbit Food - 5 & 10 lb.
Share:
All rabbits need high fiber to keep their digestive systems working properly, plus basic vitamins and minerals to maximize their health. Essentials - Adult Rabbit Food combines needed fiber with stabilized nutrients to assure a well-balanced diet when served with Oxbow loose grass hays. Oxbow Animal Health's founder and owner John Miller created the industry's first timothy hay-based food for rabbits and other small herbivores, the basis of Essentials - Adult Rabbit Food.
Made from timothy grass meal, Essentials - Adult Rabbit is specifically designed to meet the particular nutritional needs of adult rabbits. Adult nutritional needs are lower than those of animals in the growth stage of life.
Rabbits are designed to eat and digest fiber found in plant material. Timothy grass hay provides the fiber necessary to maintain intestinal health, and makes Essentials - Adult Rabbit the veterinarian's number one choice for your adult rabbit.
NOTE:
- Available in 5 & 10 lb bags.
FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS:
Always change your rabbit's food gradually to allow the digestive system time to adapt. Some rabbits are resistant to change, so time and patience are needed when switching feeds.
- Mature Rabbits (over 1 year)
- 1-4 lb. = 1/8 cup daily
- 4-8 lb. = 1/4-1/3 cup daily
- 8-10 lb. = 1/3-1/2 cup daily
- 10 lb.+ = 3/4 cup daily
- Feed in addition to unlimited grass hay.
- Transitioning to a New Food: Week 1, mix 3 parts current food with 1 part new
- Please note that these are guidelines. If your rabbit is overweight or underweight, please contact your veterinarian or Oxbow for more specific feeding information."

Our picky bunny readily eats these pellets as part of his overall diet of hay, mixed green salads and pellets. The pellets always smell fresh and the resealable, stiff plastic bag makes it easier to re-close it after squeezing out the air.
every morning my rabbit dorothy gets soooo excited and runs up to the side of my bed waiting for me to get up and give her this! she loves it!! i've been giving her this brand for about 4 years now (she turned 4 last month, i've had her since she was 8 weeks old) and she hasn't gotten tired of it!
My 2-year-old rabbit loves these. Every time she hears the crinkle of the bag she darts towards me. They are always great quality, very little powder, and they are always very green. I highly recommend this product.
Great product and a great price. My lop loves these pellets. Best choice for bunny pellets!
I've been feeding my rabbit this for the past 9 or 10 years and she hasn't had any problems from it. She digests it well and has lived a long healthy life and she's never grown tired of the taste either. She just turned 13 if that says anything.
Both my rabbits love Oxbow pellets. Most highly recommended rabbit food brand out there!
My bunny loves these pellets!
My bunny loves these pellets! Timothy is the main ingredient instead of alfalfa so it is better for him.
There must be something special about these pellets because my son's bunny, now in my care, actually eats them! The pellets she'd been eating were just wasted because she just wouldn't eat them. I am so happy I found these.
I was only feeding my bunnies veggies and hay, so I was hesitant to give them pellets. But needless to say I bought some and although it took them a few days to start eating it, they now anxiously await every morning for their bowl. They love it, I am very happy I decided to introduce pellets. Also if you do not always have access to fresh veggies like I do, this is amazing supplement and very convenient!
I had previously been feeding my rabbit another brand of pellets, but had heard that Oxbow is the best so I switched over, My Luna immediately took to this brand and comes running for her pellets every morning.
My bunny vet told me this was the best of the best after looking at the pellets I bought from petco. I immediately made the switch and it makes me happy to know that I am providing the best food for my bun.
Alex has started to lick his bowl clean. In the past he would always leave some pellets and the pellet dust for me to clean up. Not any more:)
My bunny had been eating Peter's pellets since he was a baby, as it'd been recommended to me, but one day he stopped eating them (at age four). As days went by, I got nervous. He was eating anything else I gave him, but the pellets were boycotted. I gave these a try, which I've discovered are much healthier, anyway, and happily, he loves them! A big success and a big relief.
Its the only thing I feed my bunny. She loves it. I only feed ox bow products to her.
This is the only rabbit food mybunny likes to eat and its the only one my vet recommends as well
This is a healthy product recommended to me by two veterinarians. My bunny is hooked on KayTee Festival pellets because they have "treats" in with the pellets. As one vet told me those are sugar and need to stop him and get him onto this healthier product. Wish I had known that when I rescued him from a foreclosure and just gave him everything he liked to make him feel secure. I am working on this now with this product.
I have two house bunnies and they both love Oxbow Bunny Basics T for Adult Rabbits. They also love Oxbow Orchard Grass and Oxbow Timothy hay. They will not eat any other hay!
My Mocha luvs Oxbow Basics for Adult Rabbits.
Great! Got exactly what I ordered quickly. Will recommend.
This OxBow pellet food works as a great supplement to add to your rabbit's diet. OxBow has one of the best and most accurate rabbit product lines I've ever seen. They do a great job and I will definitely continue to purchase this!
The bunny food at Petco & Pet Smart here in town is twice the price for exact same thing so even with the high shipping it is still worth it! Thank you!
What happened to the bag of yucca treats you use to have?
Came very quickly. My rabbits love this stuff!
My bunny scarfs the bunny basics rabbit food for breakfast. He seems to really enjoy the flavor, and I can feel good about the nutrient content and quality of this food.
I got exactly what I ordered and it arrived really fast.
It's hard to find this product where I live, so I'm glad that I found this website. I have four bunnies that I rescued and it took a while to find the right product to supplement their diet with. I won't use anything else.
I have found that these timothy pellets are of better quality and a cheaper price than anywhere in my area. Yea!
My bunnies love this food. One of my bunnies has a delicate tummy and this keeps me out of the vet's office--except for well bunny checkups!
Great pellets for buns. I feel comfortable feeding these to Buddy, knowing they are higher in fiber than most and low in fat.
My bunnies do not get a lg amount of pellets a day- but I feel comfortable knowing the small amount of quality pellets they do get rounds out/balances thier diet with necessary vitamins and minerals. All 3 of my bunnies have lovely, plush haircoats.
MY only choice for bunny pellets. Have used before.
I buy this food because it is Timothy based and great for the digestive system for the buns! My critters love it! The price is so much better buying through Binky Bunny than the chain pet stores! If find you get twice the amount of food for the price of a small bag at chain pet stores! Most importantly, my rabbits love it!!
My rabbits love BB's Oxbow pellets. If they don't get their daily pellets they will plot how to get a new owner who will! Very healthy, and it's great seeing my rabbits enjoying themselves. You can't beat the price here and BB's shipping is VERY fast!
