I've been contemplating changing feed for a while. I have always used Purina Show Formula pellets and think it is a good brand of rabbit pellets. I tried Purina's Fibre 3 as it has a high fiber content and no corn added. I like this as well, but I would have to special order it at the local feed stores. I didn't want to mess with ordering all the time. I like having a choice of places to grab a bag of feed when I need it.
I have a few different feed stores that are easy access for me and they all carry Kent brand rabbit pellets (they don't all carry Purina Show Formula). I decided to try Kent and have really liked it so far. I have many breeder friends that also use Kent and are very happy with how their rabbits are doing on it. The rabbits love it and had no problems switching over to it. Its fiber and protein content is similar to Purina Show Formula, but I like the size of Kent's pellets. They are much smaller in length and diameter than Purina's. Not that this makes a huge difference, but I believe this can make it more palatable for the rabbits (especially babies).
Let me know what feed you use and what you like about that particular feed.

Hi Ann,
We use the Purina Show Blend as well. I did check into useing the Purina Fibre 3 as well. I talked to you about it and you told me what you posted. We have to go to fremont to get our feed so we only go once a month as we get 4 bags at a time and it last the whole. How is the price of the kent compared to the Purina. Kent is easier to get here as well. But if it will not save my any money then I am not sure that it would pay. Just wondering.
Jeff
