Oxbow Essentials Adult Rabbit Food Timothy-Hay-First Pellets 10 lb — High Fiber, USA-Made

Oxbow Essentials Adult Rabbit Food is a timothy-hay–first pellet diet formulated to give adult rabbits balanced, high-fiber nutrition for everyday health.

Designed for rabbits aged one year and older, this USA-made pellet blend prioritizes timothy hay as the primary ingredient to encourage proper digestion, dental wear, and steady weight management. The uniform pellet shape discourages selective feeding so every scoop delivers consistent vitamins, minerals, and omega nutrients recommended by veterinarians and small‑animal nutritionists.

How does this pellet blend support digestion and dental health?

The formula emphasizes long‑fiber timothy hay to promote natural chewing behavior and gastrointestinal motility. High fiber content helps maintain healthy gut function while the firm pellet texture aids gradual tooth wear, reducing the risk of overgrown incisors when combined with regular hay and chew enrichment.

• Timothy hay listed as the top ingredient for long-fiber intake
• Uniform pellets prevent selective eating and ensure balanced nutrition
• Firm texture encourages chewing for dental abrasion
• Prebiotics and natural fibers support intestinal flora

What nutrients are included and why do they matter for adult rabbits?

Oxbow Essentials supplies a complete profile of vitamins and minerals formulated for maintenance needs of adult rabbits, including stabilized Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and Vitamin D3. Antioxidants and omega fatty acids are included to support coat condition and immune resilience without relying on added sugars or artificial colors.

• Stabilized Vitamin C for steady antioxidant support
• Vitamin A and D3 to help maintain normal bone and tissue health
• Omega fatty acids for coat luster and skin condition
• No added sugar, artificial colors, or unnecessary fillers

How should I feed Oxbow Essentials to my rabbit each day?

Feed amounts vary by size and activity, but the goal is to offer measured portions of pellets alongside unlimited high‑quality timothy hay and fresh water. Pellets supply concentrated maintenance nutrition while free‑choice hay satisfies chewing needs and prevents boredom.

• Provide measured pellets per veterinary or on-package guidance
• Always offer unlimited timothy hay separate from pellets
• Adjust portions for weight management and activity level
• Introduce gradually over 7–10 days when switching diets
