Anyone else noticed a change with Science Selective pellets?

I just opened a new bag and the pellets look very different - much longer and thinner and both my rabbits turned their nose up at them, whereas they normally scoff their pellets down.
Have other people found this? And if so, have your bunnies got used to the change and started eating their pellets again?

Alterations in pet food formulations are common. If your rabbits reject the new pellets, it may be due to taste or texture variations. Pets often adapt over time. Check the manufacturer's updates and consult your vet for advice. Monitoring your rabbits during the transition is crucial. Online forums may offer insights from other pet owners experiencing similar changes. If concerns persist, seek veterinary guidance for the well-being of your rabbits.

Same here. Bought this food for 6 years but the last batch my Belgian hare will not touch it. The texture is different. Pets at homes swapped it but the next bag was the same.

We have different brands, yet even if the formula does not change the hay used to manufacture it can vary; so I add some of the old bag on top of the new bag and mix it a little, so any change is not as sudden.
