From the brand, Hay is more important than soy, and thousands of pet parents have witnessed their furry friends transform into vibrant, healthy, and happy members of their families. The previous page leads to the product description, which includes five helpful tips for rabbit owners.
Tip 1: Encourage your pet rabbit to eat more hay and drink more water by feeding less of these items: salads, greens, veggies, fruits, grain, and soy found in most pellets and treats. These food items are sweeter than hay and can increase digestive health problems. When your rabbit eats more dry hay, they will drink more water for better urinary health.
Tip 2: Watch for the warning signs of digestive upset (risk of stasis). Digestive health, G.I. tract motility, energy, and appetite are all closely related. If one declines, the others will decline too. You need to watch out for malformed poops, un-eaten cecotropes, low energy or less activity than normal, and a low appetite (won't eat a favorite treat).
Tip 3: Feeding greens will increase signs of digestive upset. This has been tested, and even a small amount of greens fed to a 6-pound rabbit caused these signs of digestive upset to appear within a few days, and it took over a week of not feeding any greens to fix it.
Tip 4: If hay is the first ingredient, is the formula mostly hay? No! Excess grain and soy are not a natural part of your rabbit's diet and will increase the signs of digestive upset. Grain and soy, in multiple forms, are often hidden in pellets that have hay as the first ingredient, but these pellets are usually less than 35% hay.
Tip 5: Feed real hay and no substitutes! Sherwood's formulas contain real hay and don't use low-cost ingredients, like soybean hulls or oat hulls, as an alternative to using real hay. Their hay-based formulas are grain-free, soy-free, and science-based, formulated by a PhD Molecular Biologist, providing a healthier and hoppier life for your pet.
Nourish your pet's best life with the Sherwood Pet Health diet plan.

directions | Feeding Directions: Feed freely the same way you feed hay. Rabbits will graze on this food the same way they graze on hay because it is grain-free and hay-based. Attention: Transitioning to this grain-free hay-based food will not cause digestive problems. If your rabbit doesn’t readily eat this healthier pellet then cut back on tehir treats, salads and veggies. You’ll see them start to eat more hay and they will also be more eager to eat this hay-based food. With this nutrient rich diet most rabbits will shed excess body fat and gain healthy weight and improved muscle tone. | ||||
