Which Rabbit Feed is better?

The ingredients aren't as important as the ysis. From these ingredient lists we've got no idea what the protein composition of the feed is. That's what you should be looking at, and not worrying so much about the ingredients. Choose a feed with 16% (for pets) or 18% (for breeding and show) protein. We've had good results with Blue Seal Show Hutch Deluxe. Other breeders we know use ADM PenPals 18, or MannaPro. Only a very few breeders I know use Purina. Whatever you choose, don't bother with the junk at pet stores. It's garbage. Some pellets and good quality hay, together with greens from time to time, will work very well. And my "hay," I mean, "go find a farmer and buy a bale of hay," not that Oxbow stuff at the pet store. That stuff is dried out and none of our rabbits will touch it.
