Oxbow Essentials Young Rabbit Food
A hay-forward, uniform pellet designed for growing herbivores, this Oxbow formula is included because its high-fiber, complete-pellet approach reduces selective feeding and supports consistent nutrient intake in small herbivorous rodents. Compared with lab-style rodent rations like Mazuri it emphasizes digestive health over maximal growth rates, and it is a widely distributed, competitively priced option for owners seeking a reliable, pellet-only growth diet.
