## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this recommended for a pregnant or lactating doe?**
A: It can be used for pregnant and lactating as it has alfalfa in it. Young rabbit food is made of alfalfa since babies need the nutrients to grow and gain a healthy weight etc. The package does show how much to feed as well.

**Q: I have a young rabbit how long will a 10lb bag last**
A: it will depend on how much you feed your bunny. However, I still have a little over a 1/4 bag left and i received my bag on June 1st. My bunny wastes her food as well. The 10lb bag is a price for the money. Hope this helps.

**Q: What're nutritional %s of fiber, protein, fat, calcium/phosphorous, vit. d, vit, e, and vit, a in this pellet food? also, top 5 ingredients listed...?**
A: Top five ingredients: Timothy Grass Meal, Soybean Hulls, Wheat Middlings, Soybean Meal, Cane Molasses.   Guaranteed Analysis: Crude Protein (min) 14%; Crude Fat (min) 2%; Crude Fiber (min) 25%; Crude Fiber (max) 29%; Moisture (max) 10%; Calcium (min) 0.35%; Calcium (max) 0.85%; Phosphorus (min) 0.25%; Salt (min) 0.5%; Salt (max) 1%; Copper (min) 30ppm; Vitamin A (min) 19,000 IU/kg; Vitamin D (min) 900 IU/kg; Vitamin E (min) 190 IU/kg.All the above information is printed on the bag.

**Q: What is the difference between this product and oxbow animal health alfalfa hay, 9-pound?**
A: Essentials Young Rabbit (formerly called Bunny Basics) is a fortified pelleted diet. Oxbow’s complete and balanced young rabbit pellets are formulated to meet the specific nutritional needs of young rabbits under the age of 12-months. Essentials Young Rabbit is an alfalfa based diet and provides optimal protein and fiber for healthy digestion, as well as additional micronutrients and a higher caloric value needed to keep up with those quickly maturing bodies. Our 9 lbs alfalfa hay is simply loose alfalfa hay. When used in conjunction with our Essentials Young Rabbit, loose alfalfa hay provides added vital nutrients in the daily diet of young animals and should be offered in small quantities daily, along with unlimited quantities of a variety of grass hays (Western Timothy, Oat, Orchard, Botanical, etc).
