Discussion Topic: Pellets for Rabbits

Hi, everyone! I know this blog doesn't get very many views, but I enjoy posting here :)
Sorry, I have been absent lately, homework has been catching up to me with homework! Anyways, I'm here to discuss a new topic with you all, and that is what type of pellet is best for rabbits?

Pellets are important to your rabbit's diet because they give it the proper nutritional supplement. But some pellets aren't healthy for rabbits, like mixed rabbit food (muesli). Mixed rabbit food has seeds, little nuggets of reads and so on.
The reason this kind of food is not good for your rabbit sum up to a few reasons
A.)(Knowing my rabbit) Most rabbits would pick out the treats parts and leave the nutritional parts alone, which leads to obesity, and not receiving the right nutrition.
B.)There are several health issues that can come from eating muesli (talking in terms of the rabbit, of course), like stomach issues, teeth issues and more painful aftermath
If your rabbit happens to be on muesli, gradually transfer to something safer (like Oxbow or Purina). If your feed happens to have little brightly colored treats inside, you can simply pick these out and feed as treats.

Pellet free diets are a whole different topic that may be coming in a future post :)

Thanks for reading another post:)
