Feed store pellets VS pet store pellets

[Angorakeeper]

Are the rabbit pellets that you find at feed stores, and Tractor supply just ment for meat, and breeding rabbits? You can get a HUGE bag for under $10, and the rabbit pellets in the pet stores are $10 for a bad a third the size that Tractor Supply has!

Since my rabbit numbers have doubled I have finding myself having a hard time affording pellets. a 10lb bag doesnt go anywhere anymore!

Tractor Supply carries Mana pro foods, and purina rabbit foods.

Thanks

Look at the ingredients on the back and compare to the bag you get at the pet store, if it is all the same it will be fine, but i would say you get what you get what you pay for. Cheap food = cheap ingredients. :wave:
