Kaytee Orchard Grass for Rabbits , 16-Ounce
The best diet for domestic rabbits, I've learned, is full access to Timothy hay, clean water, mineral/salt licks, and plenty of appropriate fresh produce (with very little fruit). However, I've also learned that grazers love all different kinds of grasses, which makes sense since if that's all their natural diet is, I'm sure its taste and smell is more obvious to them. I started providing a small amount of Orchard Grass to my rabbit, and he LOVES it! Most domestic rabbits can gain weight so easily, so try to avoid pellets of any kind, and never offer alfalfa or alfalfa meal! Alfalfa is a legume, not a grass, and is very fattening for herbivores. It should only be fed to animals that have trouble keeping weight on them or who need extra calories for some reason. For rabbits and other herbivorous animals, Orchard Grass is a great way to add variety to their diet. The Kaytee brand offers products that should not be fed to animals they market it towards, and most pet store employees are not knowledgeable about it at all. But after doing your own reading, buying the appropriate Kaytee products for your pet is a winning combination. This Kaytee product is amazing!
