So, this year Casper and Sophie both have slowly started to dislike their Science Selective pellets, leaving more and more of them as time went by. Buying new bags didn't help, and their teeth have been checked several times since this started and were fine, so I think they just don't really like it as much as they used to anymore.
I started looking for different food with ingredients I liked, and got them Beaphar Nature, which is mostly grasses and herbs, but they didn't really like it. Then I tried Bunny Nature Rabbit Dream, which is also mostly grasses and herbs, but they didn't really like that, either... Then I tried JR Farm Grainless Health Complete (mostly grasses and herbs, too), and they liked this initially and I managed to switch them over. The interesting thing is that their poops look a lot better on this. Casper's poops have been misshapen for a long time, but they are bigger and rounder on this, and I'd often find really small poops among their bigger ones, I'm not sure whose, but I haven't seen those at all since they've had these pellets. They've all been a nice, good size on this, which made me think that maybe they don't react well to the grains or the soy in Science Selective? But... they don't really like it anymore now...
So, I got Versele-Laga Complete Cuni Sensitive, which is also grain free, and they really like this! But after only a few days of mixing this with their current food their poops have already started getting worse again. The ingredients of this are very vague ("derivatives of vegetable origin", and "vegetable protein extracts"), so who knows what's in it, really... I've emailed the company about it, but haven't gotten a reply. So, clearly this isn't the right pellet for them, either, despite them liking it very much...
So, I was wondering if anybody knows a brand of pellets that are mostly hay/grasses and herbs, without things like grains and soy that they might react badly to? I know there's grain free Science Selective, but there's soy in it, which I'd rather avoid. Preferably something that tastes really nice, as Sophie as Casper are picky?
Sorry, this is really long! Thank you for reading if you made it to this point. :lol:
