What do you feed your buns?

I just wondered what we all feed our bunsters.
Dry food wise.

I feed my lot Wagg bunny brunch and a bit of D&H Pasture mix along with Just grass and broad bran and ad lib hay of course.
I have tryed P@H rabbit nuggets, D&H Rabbit pellets, P@H museli but the Wagg is definatly more prefered with my lot.

What do your buns have?

Hi,

Mine also LOVE the Wagg Bunny Brunch, they also have a mixture of Timothy Hay or Readigrass and then veg (usually cabbage and carrots as it's their fave).

HTH

Oggie was on this food mix which had dried fruit etc in, however I am now switching him over to science selective.

Science selective here, Its been the one thing ive consistantly used throughout keeping buns Have tried different ones before but always end up back with it, definately the best food around imo :D

science selective here too! When they eat it it takes them ages to chew it and you can see how it is great for wearing down teeth! Then hay, grass, veg, fruit etc.

mine have Excel. Is bunny brunch the one like muesli with lots of different bits in?

I use Oxbow bunny basics. One of our bunnies had a problem with excess caecotrophs with Excel and Science Selective which stopped when we started feeding the Oxbow.

I have carried on despite the expense with 6 bunnies as they all look so well on Oxbow. SPH have just started selling a 22kg bag which is so much more cost effective

All sounds good, I did used to feed a complete pellet but the buns turned their noses up at it.
The bunny brunch is the museli one yes.
Thanks for replying everyone, might have to try the other ones mentioned sometime... =]

I use A&P but have to supplement some of my bunnies in the winter with a higher protein food, as a few tend to lose condition on A&P alobne.

I feed mine Oxbow bunny basics, they seem to like it more than any other brand I can get here in the States. I have tried a few different kinds, I have very picky buns

Mine get P@H pellets and wolf them down ..... but then they wolf everything down that isn't nailed down.

Hi, Johns has Excel pellets and loves them.. although I bought Supa Excel by accident (2 massive packs) but he seems to have taken to them. He has curly kale and spring greens every day plus a selection of grapes and blackberries (he LOVES blackberries). If I have some odd salad leaves (very rare in this house) I give them to him and maybe the odd bit of carrot or broccoli but he has pretty much the same all the time. He likes his leaves does Johns. He also has Timothy or Meadow Hay in his hutch to munch on.

He does like a plastic dress up shoe or one of Maddie's colouring pencils to chew on if the mood takes him

Hi mine are on russel rabbit the red bag, hay,veg carots cabage and brokoli and lots of grass and a bit of fruit dose this all sound good?

or do you think i should change the russel rabbit for something else? the reason i ask is becaue they only eat some of it and im guessing they are leaving the stuff that is good for them

Your spot on Dan, the bit they leave is the bit thats good for them and selective feeding does tend to be an issue with some so-called 'muesli mixes'. They also tend to be a lot lower in fiber, essential for good gut motility, than pellets.

In my opinion the best pellets to feed are Science Selective, but they are also the most expensive. As you have 4 buns you could do with buying a 10kg bag which should last you a while, they only need a small handful each per day.

I am quite tight with mine having sweet things too, they probably get a piece of fruit once every 6 weeks if that! They do have a big bowl of mixed greens each everyday though and ad-lib hay access.

My god Sooz if Johns didn't get a handful of blackberries twice a day I'd be in trouble - he throws a wobbler if he doesn't get them. A few weeks ago I couldn't find any anywhere so he went without - he was MOST disapproving and kept looking in the bowl, dirty glaring at me and then nibbling angrily at the wood on the hutch!

Mine have never has blackberries but they do get blackberry leaves to eat.

SS pellets, used to have a couple of handfuls, then one handful, now it's about 10 pellets a day. He also has a tiny bit of Royale Museli, just cos he loves it, and it's used as a treat/incentive to behave etc

When he first arrived, he was on Excel junior, but that gave him the squits, which it does to some buns, not others apparently.
Berts doesn't like any fruit, and I do't give him any manufactured treats at all, if he needs a treat, he gets 1/2 an SS pellet I'm paranoid about him getting too big, he did go through a stage of being too portly, that's when I cut back on the pellets and increased the hay/veg.

Well went and bought some Science Selective and Dusty and Archie have tucked right in then Archie wanted to know what i was eating so he has just help eat a cracker silly sod more went on the floor than in his mouth

Mine eat A&P, but after people have said they are losing condition, they get horses barley rings, more often than they should, just to keep the weight on them.

Handful of A&P each.
