I found food for dental bunnies

Jenova

Well my sister did... :)
She brought me a bag of the Bunny Nature Green Dream Oral/Senior food for Grim. Has anyone else used it or others in the range?

Smoo scoffed a few pellets but Grim seemed less than interested. I was also wondering, if he's not able to eat them dry he'll obviously loose the effect that the shaped pellets have on his teeth, but do you think it would still be beneficial for him to eat them soggy?

I know nothing about things like beneficial fibre and crude fibre or what exact vitamins etc he should be getting. He can't eat hay though so the pellets are all he gets. :(

(And bread because I likes to spoil him...) :roll::oops:
 
I dont know anything about the ingredient amounts but I would be interested to hear what other people think - pellets for dental buns sound a great idea.

If they say senior though are they only to be used by older (mature rabbits) then as I have no idea how old Starbuck is? Though they may be useful for Kenco (6 yr old bunny) with dental problems.
 
Apparently the way it's actually made and it's shape help with rabbits who has misaligned teeth.
 
Fibre wise it sounds great. If you can't get the fibre into them via hay then the higher the better with the pellets.

Have you tried fresh grass? Lots of rabbits that won't eat hay will eat fresh grass and that's great for teeth wear and tummies.

Would it be ok for non-dental bunnies too do you think? We are quite lucky in that all of ours, including the dental bunnies tuck in to their hay. They like grass too :)
 
It seems like it would be fine for normal buns too.

I'm confused though. This dental food has 21% fibre. The Excel has 36%
beneficial fibre and 17% crude fibre. What are beneficial and crude fibre? And which one has more fibre? Confused! :lol:
 
I love Bunny Nature and am feeding oral/senior to a non hay eating dental bun with no icisors and it's helping keep her going.

I also feed it to others here and think it's great. The shape helps but it's the fact that it's got good ingredients and is a compressed pellet rather than extruded that wins my vote.

I also use it with my piggies alongside their Bunny Basics

If you dont have a dental bunny then there are other types of Bunny Nature Pellet in the range - Meadow Feast, herbs etc.

Thank you. I was asking if was ok for non-dental bunnies because Kenco lives with Fay who has not had any problems with teeth and is only 2 years old, and there is no way I could stop either of them eating the others food!! :lol::lol::lol:
 
I have that problem too. I've somehow taught Smoo to come out and eat her food under a garden chair and Grim goes up to the top of the hutch where I lock him in to eat his. :lol:

My only problem is when it's raining.
 
Think i will order some of that , see if it will help my bunny he loves pellets so i am willing to give anything a go if it helps his teeth and diet.
