I have been feeding my rabbits SS mature for the majority of the time I have kept rabbits due to always having a female bun (2 so far) with dodgy tums. I have lost both girls with the tummy issues but now have 1 male who is 3, a female who is 3 and a female who is 7. Both females are a little overweight as they got into quite a sedentary lifestyle before coming to me and I think they were eating too much and as I have only just adopted them I think I need to get them into a bit of a diet and exercise regime asap.
My question is that I'm just about to open a new bag of mature food and wondered there are any benefits of swapping to normal adult instead. As far as I'm aware I think that the mature is better as 1) one of my girls is slightly older so will be better for her 2) the girls are overweight so lighter food would be a good idea 3) The mature is lower in calcium so I would prefer that so I don't need to worry about cutting back on parsley and spring greens 4) the smaller mature pellets seem better for scatter feeding.
Are there benefits of feeding adult over mature?
