Normally my bunnies do so well with this product but the last bag I purchased had several pieces of grass-colored styrofoam in them? I’ve had to pick through their food almost daily and keep finding pieces like this (this is the biggest one I’ve found so far). Not sure what this is.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Oxbow essentials adult rabbit food from try it sampling for my honest opinion. My rabbits just love this food. The pellets are perfectly sized. My bunnies have not had any digestive issues at all. They all can’t wait to get their bowl of food. Great balance of healthy ingredients for them. We are a happy bunch.

My rabbit loves this food and I like that there is no colorful things she can pick out and then ignore the actual pellets. The price is a bit high though.
Chary123 (verified owner) –
My rabbits love this particular brand of pellets!!
Kkubio (verified owner) –
Ingredients matched closely the food we had, primarily Timothy, we mixed them so she could have both, we noticed she picked the new pellets, that were a darker green and ate them first. Possibly the larger bag is more economical and lasts longer but the smaller bag stays fresher because we use it up faster.
Brandwine77 (verified owner) –
I’ve exclusively fed my bunny oxbow since she was a baby and she is 7 years old. She seems to love these pellets.

Provides all the nutrients needed bunnies . I trust Oxbow products to be the best and provide the best.
JF302 (verified owner) –
Stay away, as it has molasses and other filler ingredients not good for your animal. Go for alternatives that just use fortified hay, greens, etc. with moderate natural fruits if it is a treat

We only give Oxbow to both of our current rabbits & 3 in the past.

Chessie absolutely loves the Oxbow Essentials Adult Rabbit Food! He gets really excited by the scent of the food while I’m preparing to fill his bowl which communicates his excitement! I’m recommending this product because he enjoys it and I was complemented on his diet during his visit with the vet! When he has good behavior I top the food with a sprinkle of Full Cheeks Salad Mix!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a bunny who is very particular when it comes to his food. I have gotten my bunny other pellets from other brands and he would pick at it, except for this one. I am now a fan of Oxbow products and will always get this for my bunny.

Cloverwantshispelletsback (verified owner) –
My bunny used to love this stuff. I got a new bag and he won’t touch it! I thought he was getting go stasis or something and was panicking. I grabbed the old bag to compare inhredients and saw I still had like a tablespoon left in there. Thought I’d see if he would eat that and he goes crazy for it! What?? It’s the same exact packaging so weird.
Kglen (verified owner) –
I am continually happy with this high quality product as my bun is always looking forward to his meal time. I do add in dried herbs and flowers to enhance his experience because I don’t like all the junk food that gets added in other bags, but these pellets are a great foundation.
MCAtomic865 (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My pet bunny absolutely loves this brand of bunny food. I’ve tried other foods but he doesn’t eat those as much as he eats oxbow’s grain. I always recommend this to anyone with a pet bunny and will continue to be a loyal customer.

Other rabbit food is not as good quality as Oxbow.
awrootbeer (verified owner) –
Oxbow is a reliable brand. My bunnies love the food.
MayJ (verified owner) –
Amazing food. But remember rabbits need 1/4 cup of pellets for every 5 pound rabbit daily. I give my rabbit leafy greens for breakfast and then 1/4 cup of pellets on top, and a piece of banana then another salad. Just don`t feed too much of pellets. Give rabbits unlimited hay and water.
MrsHound (verified owner) –
Best litter available and the only one I’ll buns will use
HappyTwitch (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have always used Oxbow products for our rabbit as this brand was recommended by vets and other rabbit owners/breeders. My rabbit has always been healthy and has always eaten the Oxbow adult rabbit food or the young rabbit food before he turned one. I like that it has the ingredients my bunny needs to remain healthy and active. He enjoys eating this food and appears to enjoy it. Recommend.
Bob Owner of Trumpet (verified owner) –
Oxbow products are the best you can offer your bunny. It is importantly to know which variety to select for your friend. My girl just loves the Oxbow Timothy Hay, Adult Food Pellets and treats available.

Bunbe18 (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been feeding my picky bunnies the oxbow garden select and was worried they would not take well to trying these pellets. I was wrong. The second they heard that rustling of the bag, they were ready to try it out. They love using their baby stacking cups with these pellets as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this feed for my two rabbits for a while now and I’m very happy with it. We have a French Angora and Holland Lop, and they both seem to enjoy this food a lot. There were no health issues with our switch to this food and they seem to be thriving while eating it.
Punkymom (verified owner) –
Bought two bags for online pick up, when I got to the store they were a little busy so while I was waiting, I bought even more because they were on sale. Great price great quality.
almian79 (verified owner) –
After twelve years of bunny ownership, I switched to oxbow. I was apprehensive because it was double the price of their usual food. One of my rabbits had been having digestive problems that nothing seemed to fix. After just a few days of switching, both of my bunnies are happier, healthier, and more active than they’ve ever been. Take the plunge! It’s worth the extra cost!!!
Chubby2206 (verified owner) –
I always buy this product for my rabbit he love it.
Patti2024 (verified owner) –
My bunnies enjoy this as an extra treat once in awhile. They of course love their hay!
Sfowler (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Oxbow has been a part of my rabbits diet for a while now. Now he’s had a new taste that he loves. Watching him eat has me questioning how good is it really? Well as long as he’s happy I’m happy. Shout out to Oxbow!
Angielyn (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My rabbit absolutely loved the Oxbow rabbit food. She was gobbling it up like I never feed her. Once I did some research I realized my previous brand was not the best for her. Oxbow is high quality and in my opinion the very best for your rabbit.

Oxbow is the one and only brand of bunny/rabbit food that we trust with our three babies. It contains all of the essential, vitamins, minerals, and nutrients for whatever age they are. Oxbow has never let us down. My husband and I volunteer at our local Bunny Shelter/rescue, and this brand is the only brand that they feed off 30 of the bunny rabbits.

Vanesiixxx (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best nutrition packed bag that I have ever encountered. After reading the ingredients I thought “ok that is amazing stuff in there”. I gave it to my bunny for the first time and she was not interested so I was kinda upset about it, but turns out she was wasn’t hungry. By bedtime she had finished the amount I put in her bowl. I have noticed her droppings are much stiffer and healthier looking as well as her beautiful coat.

LisaADuck (verified owner) –
I have been feeding my pet bunnies Oxbow for a long time. It’s pelleted feed but you can tell it’s high quality. The color (nice leafy green) and the smell are amazing! The bunnies enjoy their feed very much, along with their free choice hay and veggies at breakfast and dinner. The bunnies are all healthy, their coat looks great, and they are happy. What more could I ask for? 🙂 I will purchase again and again.
Maddiecake (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My bunny (Buntley) literally couldn’t be happier with this food!! I swear he thinks it’s a treat by the way he hops around when he sees me get it out. This is by far his favorite part of the day because of how much he loves this food! Couldn’t recommend any higher.
2Bunniesmom (verified owner) –
Oxbow Adult Rabbit Food is highly recommended by our vet for our two rabbits. They have been eating it since we adopted them 7 years ago and they love it and it has kept them healthy. It is what I’ve served my previous rabbits and they lived long and healthy lives.

Switched to this feed a few weeks ago after my rabbit stopped eating her old pelleted food. She loves her new Oxbow Essentials Adult Rabbit Food and waits for her food every morning now!!
Stefinny (verified owner) –
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I consider Oxbow a reliable brand of rabbit food and Oxbow Essentials Adult Rabbit Food is no exception. It is timothy hay based, and timothy hay should be a rabbit’s number one food source. It also contains necessary vitamins and minerals. The feeding instructions give realistic and appropriate amounts to feed your bunny. Pellets should not be their main food source and the listed recommendations are appropriate and not excessive. My bunnies love their daily ration of these pellets!
MishieB (verified owner) –
I bought this to add a change to my bunnies current food which is Timothy Adult food by Martin little friends brand. She tends to leave this new food and eat the Martin brand which has round shaped pellets. I don’t know if it’s the size/texture or flavour that she doesn’t like about the Oxbow Essentials Rabbit Food.

The first time I ordered this, it was because petsupplycanada stopped selling the kind I previously fed. It arrived ripped open. They replaced it, which was great but my rabbit won’t touch this food. I’ve tried purchasing another bag to see if it was just the one we received as a replacement.
My dog always used to steal the rabbit food, he no longer tries with this food.
