Question 1

How much do you feed a rabbit that weighs less than 4lbs?

Accepted Answer

I believe it tells you feeding instructions on the packaging based on their weight. My rabbit is 5.5 lbs, and I gave him 1/4 cup.

Question 2

How does this compare to the Free Choice pellets?  I compared the ingredients and they are exactly the same.

Accepted Answer

There are two adult timothy foods and yes the formulas are the same with the difference simply being that the blue bag of free choice is diluted down with a lot more timothy hay to allow it some flexibility.

Which would be best may depend on you and your rabbit's habits. The concentrated pellet in the green bag is very dense nutrition and should be fed in very small measured amounts based upon weight making it great for rabbits who eat a lot of hay. A rabbit below 6lbs for example will get only 1/8 cup per day.

The free choice timothy pellet in the blue bag is more flexible in that it can be fed at a minimum of 1 TBS per pound, fed freely or anywhere in between. This food is basically the same formula as the other but diluted down with a lot more timothy hay so that they can eat more of it which makes it great for rabbits who may not be good hay eaters, for pairs or groups where monitoring their intake is tough or even for people who love to be able to feed a bit extra.

Question 3

Free choice

Accepted Answer

This is not a free choice pellet but they do have an option for that. Check the Sherwood Website directly to view all products and recommendations.

Question 4

Why has this product been "currently unavailable" for so many months??? Where else can I buy this?!

Accepted Answer

Sherwood was starting up a new factory and had closed an old one, so their capacity was very low. I had to scramble, going through rabbit rescue groups to get some to tide our buns and fosters over.
