I hear what you're saying about selective feeding, etc., but do you feel this food is one of the best of the mixes Jane and if so, why? I'm just wondering if you think this is better than the Russell Rabbit, etc.

My box of fibrefirst arrived and I have to say it smells divine looks like little twigs. I have started substituting one twig, weight wise, for ss pellets a day and bun goes banans for his twig. They recommend taking 4 weeks to slowly change over so will see how it goes. I have also got a small bag of Janes mix coming in case he still had episodes on fibrefirst.
I am going to weigh bun this coming week as inside he is alot more active than he was outsid even thoug he was free ranging outside, if we weren't outside with him he just used to sit and go trance like whereas inside with us he is racing around alot more.
We had 12 people come to house at once yesterday for coffee and cake and he loved it - had most of them on their hands and knees with a bunny tickling their noses!!! He just loves people.

My two mini rexes were on Science selective for 5 years, and had had many episodes of stasis and bloat. I decided to change over to Supreme Vetcare Plus Digestive Health last summer, and since then, they haven't had a single bloat or stasis episode (long may it continue :thumb. I don't know if SS caused the gas, but their new product is certainly helping to prevent it.
