Diet gurus - your opinions please?

Looking for a bit of advice/opinions here.
I'm unable to purchase Oxbow bunny basics T here in NZ.
I'd been getting it sent at huge expense from Oz but it's difficult & expensive & not that reliable with it customs & MAF (Ministry of Agriculture & Fisheries) often holding it up.
I am able to purchase this horse food locally even though its from the US & contents wise it is actually a bit better than the local pellets which are **** quite frankly.
So what do you think? I know its a alfalfa /timothy combination but all the pellets here are all lucerne (alfalfa) so this at least gives me some timothy.
Please follow the link. Thanks for looking. :D All comments appreciated.

A bump to catch a better time zone?

At first glance it certainly seems alright to me, but there are others much more experienced than me;)

If finding pellets is tricky for you, you could do much worse than a hay and forage diet only:thumb: As a child that is all my buns ever had, along with the odd spoonful of rolled oats in the winter to keep their weight on:D

Hi Geoffs people, thanks for that.
Finding decent pellets is impossible really.
I had a surprise at the horse feed place today when they said they can get timothy only cubes for me.
Re hay & forage diet, I do a fair amount of this but my Flemish girl is around 6 I've had her for nearly 2 years & prior to that she was very obese. Who knows what she was fed but I now struggle to keep weight on her really as she gets on in years so need a few pellets.
Her Nethie hubby would be fine on hay & forage only.
My foster bun is a hay monster so I don't have to worry about her to much but she will eventually go to someone who will want to feed a few pellets so I should prepare her for that I guess.
