FAQs

How much Oxbow Essentials should I feed my rabbit?

Generally, about 1/4 cup per 6-8 pounds of body weight per day. However, always consult your veterinarian for personalized recommendations.

Is this food suitable for baby rabbits?

No, this food is specifically formulated for adult rabbits. Baby rabbits require a different nutritional profile.

What kind of hay should I feed my rabbit?

Timothy hay is an excellent choice for adult rabbits due to its high fiber content. Always provide unlimited access to hay.

How often should I provide fresh water?

Fresh water should be available at all times. Change the water daily and clean the water bowl regularly.

How should I store the Oxbow Essentials Adult Rabbit Food?

Store the food in a cool, dry place, and seal the bag tightly after each use to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.

Can I feed my rabbit other treats?

Yes, but treats should be given in moderation. Offer fresh vegetables and small portions of fruit as occasional treats. Avoid sugary treats.

What if my rabbit is overweight?

Reduce the amount of pellets and increase the amount of hay and exercise. Consult with your veterinarian for further guidance.

Troubleshooting

Try mixing the new food with their old food, or try sprinkling some fresh herbs on top to entice them. Ensure the food is fresh and not expired.
