What is the diference in that and Excell Adult?
When should the 'change' be made?

Junior is richer and higher in protein and other nutrients.
So, are my buns still ok to be having it?

How old are they? The problem with feeding them a food thats too nutritional when they don't need it is they may get fat.
Personally I feed my young rabbits almost exactly the same as my adults apart from an extra serving of pellets. I try to get them into good eating habits young as I swear they become better hay eaters/have stronger Gi tolerance that way.
I have only ever fed the more nutritional 'Junior' feeds to my elderly & underweight bunnies.
They are just over 1.

Personally Jack, in the spring when the weather starts to warm I would move them onto the regular Excel slowly. I suggest waiting till spring as they may have become reliant on the extra nutrients to keep body fat on, which helps maintain temperature over the colder months.
Usually buns are classed as adult at around 6 months old.

Thank you so much
I will move them onto the regular one in the spring.
Thank you so much for all your help

Ok i'm a tad confused.
I understand why they would be higher in energy and protein for a junior rabbit, what with growing and everything but why would dwarf rabbits need more energy and protein than larger rabbits? :S
