Small Pet Select Rabbit Food Pellets - 5 Pounds Delivered Fresh

I bought this pellet for my adult rabbit, based on the ingredients list, which is much healthier than other brands because it has fair less sugar and carbohydrates and doesn't contain alfalfa. To me, they smell really good, like a grassy, flowery meadow.I usually only use pellets as treats and as "condiments" for his real food of hay, fresh grass, and vegetables anyway, but still, I felt like I was giving him a lot of sugar. Why did I feel this way? Because (1) he acted like I was giving him (or more importantly, WITHHOLDING FROM HIM) crack cocaine; and (2) he would begin to bounce off the walls and behave irrationally after getting a few of his treats; and (3) I tasted the other pellets and they even tasted sweet to me! So something there had to change.The first day, he loved this food., perhaps because it was a novelty. The next few days, he turned his nose up at it. But after a few days of not getting his sugary treats anymore, his tastes changed. Now he will do tricks for these pellets for half an hour straight. I sprinkle a few of them around his room and among his toys, and he hunts obsessively for them.I read other reviews that said that their rabbit wouldn't eat this food. I would recommend withholding all sugary pellets and treats, and limiting sugary fruit until the little varmit has time to adjust, then introducing a few of these as though they are something special. Addiction is a terrible thing!I also prefer these pellets because they are both naturally tiny and easy to break into even smaller pieces. When I am training my rabbit, I want to reward him every time he does something right. But because his concentration and focus is quite high, that means the training session can go on for a long time and I end up treating him a lot. I don't want to him to be full of pellets to the extent that he cuts back on his hay consumption, so I have been looking for a way to give him much smaller but more frequent rewards. Bits of romaine work as a treat, but it's convenient to have some dry treats available too.Another way that I use them is as a bribe to convince him to let me brush him. I crush them into a powder and put them into a small bowl. He sticks his head in the bowl and doesn't come up for air until the powder is gone; meanwhile, I can get in a good 10 minutes of brushing. I was doing this with other pellets but since they are so full of flour and sugar they are quite hard, so I had to us a garlic press to crush them. I like these because it's really easy to powder them. I mention it because other reviewers here were complaining about their lack of cohesion. I see it as a plus. He can use his hay or his chew toys to grind down his teeth, that's not what pellets are for.Anyway, we like them!

This is the only food I will ever give my bunnies. It was recommended to me by the breeder I got my bunnies from and I have rebought it for years. My bunnies have sensitive stomachs and this is the only food that doesn't upset their stomachs.

I have been feeding my bunnies these pellets for years! The quality is great and my bunnies absolutely love them! Pellets time is their favorite time of the day!

These are great pellets, for a great value. They are fresher and nicer and my bunnies love them. Pearl and Bailey get excited to eat. Those name-brand, box-store brands are a real rippoff. I get all my supplies online, now. I love buying Hay, Bedding, Treats and this particular pellets. I provide bunnies with lettuce and greens, but pellets are the bulk of their diet. I have small bunnies. The container keeps the large amount of pellets stable and fresh. It doesn't fall over, and so the packaging is useful, too.Save yourself a trip to the box store. Support SmallPetSelect today. Order your buns some yummy pellets!I love supporting smaller businesses directly. Do you? Avoid the middle man and you can order directly from the company. It's too much for me, but if you can, we can support the little guy.

I buy my pellets and my hay from this company and it's always been amazing quality! I'm getting ready to order my second ten pound bag because the first is nearly empty. It comes with a scoop and we give my bunny Bernie two scoops a day, he's a mini rex and is about seven or eight months old. This bag lasted him from April 14 to August 14 - and a few days beyond because obv I'm ordering when he's ALMOST out not completely out lol. So that's four months and the pellets smell as fresh today as they did when we first got the bag. For a long time we kept them in the bag because it has a convenient zipper lock on it, but inevitably after one too many times of us forgetting to zip it or not zipping it well enough the cats would knock it over and we would have to pick up all the little pellets xD so it's now in an empty popcorn tin which I actually prefer because it's easier to see how much is really left. I really recommend these pellets over "cheaper" brands because honestly for the quality and the longevity I actually think we get a better deal than you would buying a giant bag at the pet store for your bunny to pick at and hate and go to waste. Or for it to be full of yucky stuff they don't need and end up with a nasty vet bill!
