When quality pellets were hard to find in Malaysia more than 3 years ago, my rabbits were on those brandless pellets. If u take one of the pellets and try chewing, you will feel like you're biting SAND. I am not sure of the ingredients but if you try chewing on the quality pellets like Chubby Pets Garden's Pro Optimum pellets, you will be addicted to it and it is smooth to the throat when swallowed. So I am not sure how you want to judge between good and bad but just imagine the possible sand ingested by your rabbits if you continue feeding those brandless pellets.

Alfalfa is very rich in protein, that's the reason why we should not feed adult rabbits too much alfalfa hay. If your rabbit's poo is healthy and not watery, continue feeding on a minimum basis while switching to grass hay like Timothy or Bermuda grass. Alfalfa taste better and therefore your rabbits may not be interested with Timothy/Bermuda grass initially. Once you finish with Alfalfa, they have no other choice but to chow down on the grass hay.

Good luck!

Try to avoid corn. Not a good ingredient for rabbits.

Not only corn, don't you think the colors are a little outrageous?

I am not condemning the credibility of other brands of pellets, but just want to share that the results are extremely obvious. The coat is shiny and smooth to touch. Here is the product of a rabbit on that feed:



You can see the shine for yourself and there is no editing of photo here. Just bear in mind that whatever pellet brands you are using, fresh hay is most important. Take pellets as fillers to fill in the blank for the hay where it provides the rabbits with the necessary nutrients they need. Since you need to fill the void of what hay can't give you but mostly fiber, make sure you use good quality pellets.

This is an example of using other pellets prior to the one on my signature. This is the mother of the buck above. Even her coat has improved tremendously:



The color of the fur is a little dull and coarse to touch.

The fur of the rabbit will show that the rabbit itself is healthy. As a good overall healthy INSIDE will eventually show on the OUTSIDE. Besides from fur quality, I realized that the death rates are lower among my rabbits.

Hope this explanation helps.

Btw, i've seen alot people saying that to put a non slipery mat for rabbit so that it will be comfortable, i tried it, but the moment i put it in, he begin to chew chew chew, until one patch gone    What do i do now? my rabbit is very playful, any tips on how to train them?

thankyou in advance

mine should be australian jersey woolly.


i agree wif u but i don't see many rabbits like my own.
i got mine at carrefour and i don't think the breeder is a quality one by the look of the way they selling the rabbits.
(some got bleeding claws, some look sick and tired)
at the time only could afford one if had the money would have gotten a pair to breed coz i find this type of rabbit very cute.
though now i go around pet shops dun see any similar looking rabbit.
though i think mine mutant abit coz dun look like the usual jersey woolly i see on the websites.

i dunno if i will be able to buy expensive pallets and hay.
right now what i feed is a mix of;

1. fresh veggie/fruit from the supermarket, usually kangkung, long beans, pear and apples.
2. normal pallets
3. hay-pro brand timothy
4. jacob's low-salt hi-fibre biscuits as treats once in a while

i guess i am not the model owner 

hi techi5,

do u provide chew toys for your bunny (as shown below)? if you dont have, go get 2 or 3 of it. their teeth continuous grow like our nails. tat y they keep bite hard thing.
i notice my bunny do bite their toilet but not as serious as yours. no use punish him to smaller cage.

[/spoiler][/spoiler]

hmm, usually the product will say that the colouring is safe for animals (eg fiddle sticks use veg colouring-whatever that means). but what u did was right, best to discontinue when you're not sure about the product.

as for the plastic container, y dun u replace the plastic with one of those clay/ceramic food bowls for dogs/cats. but choose one that is relatively heavy so your bunny cant toss it around/over.

so coooomel, i like the 2nd and last photo 

Try googling the brand and see if there are reviews on the products. That's how I choose products for my rabbit, I google and read the reviews. If there is substantial good comments about the brand, I have a bit more faith. In your case, check whether they advertise their dye as safe. See if it's widely used amongst rabbit bloggers. This will help you make a decision.
