mr johnsons advanced rabbit food

Anyone used this? How did you get on?

I don't use me Johnson's products as they have upset my buns Timmy's in the past

How are yours getting on with it?

They seem to be fine and they love it, they've been on it for about a month now. It just occurred to me that most people use SS or Excel so I started to have a mini panic in case there was a reason nobody else uses it!

I have never heard of it. SS and excel are popular because of their high fibre content. Mabe check out the difference. If you do change over remember to do it gradually to help avoid stomach problems. Over a few weeks.

I think most people use excel, ss and fibafirst because they have a good overall nutritional content and balance.

Heres a link to a very good website that tells you what to look for in nutritional content and has chart showing most of the different rabbit foods available and how they score nutritionally (even if the food youve got isnt listed it will explain how to compare it with others and what you need to look for) - http://www.therabbithouse.com/diet/rabbit-food-comparison.asp

I've had Pablo on it since I brought him home around 2-3 weeks ago and he's fine on it he also has a unlimited supply of meadow hay, grass, a few dandelions, carrot and as a treat a few celery leaves he's a active bunny who is free range indoor n outdoor (except when we're in bed or out) n he eats n drinks well and his poops are brilliant :shock: he dosnt eat as much hay as I'd like so maybe making a few alterations. Here is info I got from mr Johnson's website.

Overcoming selective feeding:
Mr Johnson's Advance RABBIT FOOD contains a balanced diet in every mouthful therefore overcoming selective feeding.
Rabbits, if overfed, can become overweight therefore rabbits should be fed twice a day, dividing their daily requirements into two meals, feeding morning and evening only refilling the bowl once empty.
Changing your rabbits diet:
Your rabbit’s diet should never be altered suddenly as abrupt changes could trigger digestive upsets, especially in baby rabbits or rabbits that are stressed (for example if they have moved to a new home). If you want to alter your rabbit’s diet, it is recommended that this change takes place gradually over a 7-10 day period. This can be done by mixing small quantities of the new food with their existing food and increasing the proportions until it is fully changed over.

What do peoe think of the nutrition value here?

I've had a look and it could be better in some aspects. I guess it depends on the rabbit really, my two mainly eat grass, hay and fresh veg so this really is just a supplementary food for them. How is Pablo getting along with it? :wave:
