[Feature Product] Oxbow Healthy Rabbit and Guinea Pig Food

oxbow

If Bugs Bunny were real he would not be a healthy fellow at all. You see while rabbits love carrots they should only make up 5% of their diet! To avoid painful gastro-intestinal imbalances & maintain good health 75% of a rabbit or guinea pigs’ diet should be fibrous hay. The other 25% formulated pellets, that leaves 5% for little treats. Seeds, nuts, corn and grain mixes are always a no-no. The trick is to feed your rabbit or guinea pig what they were designed to eat rather than what their favourite treats are.
Oxbow is the only complete and balanced brand formulated especially for rabbits and guinea pigs. Veterinarians recommend it because it is fibre rich, and low in protein Oxbow is also low in calcium – important as this aids the prevention of overgrown teeth.
