By Jove I Have Done It!!

I have managed to get all 42 Bunsters on to A+P Pellets !!
Even Bobbie the 'you cant expect a Bun of my importance to eat anything but SS Pellets' has conceded defeat!!

:lol:

Janex :wave:
 
It it cheaper?

I'm trying to get the piggies off SS but they are not having any of it!

I was paying £14 for a 10kg sack of SS
I am paying £6 for a 20kg sack of A+P and its delivered free.

A sack of SS was lasting me a week. A sack of A+P lasts almost 3 weeks

So 'yes' its much cheaper!! :D

From a nutrional point is A+P as good ? I'm just asking as Lucius was being fed this when I got him and it didn't look very appetizing. I don't know whats in it as didn't see the original sack with ingredient breakdown. As soon as I started introducing my brand of pellets he refused to eat the A+P pellets.

Allen and Page Natural Pellets have the following levels per 20kg sack

Oil 3.25%
Vit A 8000 IU/KG
Protein 12.00%
Vit D3 1000 IU/KG
Fibre 23%
Vit E 60 IU/KG
Ash 11%
Moisture 13.80%

I think this is the correct type of pellet
 
Mine are on A&P but they don't gobble it down like they did SS, plus it goes off in about 3 months so 20kg is too much for me. Think I'll see if anyone wants to share a bag with me next time I go.

I'll bring you some round then Sooz. Sean threw the bag out :roll: so I'm guessing it goes off about the middle of Feb and we've still got LOADS left!

Have you tried only feeding hay for a few days and giving the pellets as treats to give them a taste for them? A healthy rabbit can survive on a hay/veg diet (you can give a vitamin supplement in the water if you're really concerned they're not getting everything) and after a few days they should be hungry enough to eat the pellets

Thats good advice. I did that with my more stubborn Bunsters. Once all the others got excited over A+P and there was nothing else they all decided they may aswell eat it.

Mine must all be greedy bunsters. We didn't really have any trouble changing them to A&p. :lol:

Whoa! :shock: That IS a big difference :shock::)
 
Well done. I'm hoping Bella and Tarquin will take to it. I'm hoping to get some next week. I know I won't use anywhere near a full bag before the Best Best Date but Sooz is very kindly going to take some off my hands (I hope :D).
