i heard from the rabbit specialist vet that we go to that a rabbit's diet should consist of 80% - 90% hay and grass and the rest fruit and veggies. She says they shouldn't be having pellets at all.
Finally someone else who knows what I'm talking about.
People just think they should be feeding pellets because society has grown used to doing that. Big rabbit breeders and people who have lots of rabbits still feed pellet because it's easier. In the wild rabbits don't eat pellets and they do just fine.

I have owned rabbits for several years and have learned that from many rabbit message boards and websites
Doesn't mean it's right. Like I said society has grown to think they should be feeding pellets. Even people who claim to be rabbit experts feed their rabbits pellets.

If you guys are feeding them all hay why are you feeding pellets, what is the point? Since they are compacted they have even less nutrition.

I guess it's like arguing with people that feeding raw food for dogs is better then feeding kibble. Some people just won't belive it.
