I am slowly swapping my bun George over from Mr Johnsons supreme rabbit mix to Science selective pellets.
I am taking it very slowly, because he is being neutered on Tuesday, and we are going on holiday in two weeks and my Mums coming to look after him ,so I wanted to avoid any tummy upsets.
I purchased a new 15kg sack of Mr Johnsons, and thought when I have made the complete change to the pellets I could donate the rest to a rescue if they need it. The use by date is March 07, but it says on the front of the bag 'for your rabbit to enjoy at it's best use within 7 days of opening' :shock:
surly it is ok to feed him on this for more than 7 days? As far as I'm aware you can't get smaller bags, so it would be a heck of an expense to buy a new bag of that size every week!!!!
The science selective has a use by date 12/07 but doesn't say use within a certain time of opening.
Would you feel happy to feed your bun on it for more than 7 days if stored corectly?
