Product Description
Tip 1: Encourage your pet rabbit to eat more hay and drink more water
by feeding less of these items:
- Feed less salads, greens, veggies, and fruits
- Feed less grain and soy found in most pellets and treats
These food items are sweeter than hay and increase digestive health problems.
When your rabbit eats more dry hay they will drink more water for better urinary health
Tip 2: Watch for the warning signs of digestive upset (risk of stasis)
Digestive health, G.I. tract motility, energy and appetite are all closely related to each other. If one declines then the others will decline too. You need to watch out for:
- malformed poops (not round)
- un-eaten cecotropes
- low energy or less active than normal
- low appetite - won't eat favorite treat?
Tip 3: Feeding greens will increase signs of digestive upset
Test this for yourself. We did!
Feeding even a small amount of greens to a 6 pound rabbit caused these signs of digestive upset to appear within a few days, and it took over a week of not feeding any greens to fix it.
Tip 4: If hay is the first ingredient, is the formula mostly hay? No!
Excess grain and soy is not a natural part of your rabbits diet and will increase the signs of digestive upset.
Grain and soy, in multiple forms, is often hidden in pellets that have hay as the first ingredient.
These pellets are usually less than 35% hay!
Tip 5: Feed real hay and no substitutes!
Sherwood's formulas contain real hay and don't use low-cost ingredients, like soybean hulls or oat hulls, as an alternative to using real hay.
- hay based formulas - no cheap fillers like soybean hulls
- grain free
- soy free
- science based - formulated by PhD Molecular Biologist

Trust me, this IS the best rabbit food you will find and they HAVE come down in pricing BUT the bag I received was somewhat crushed and I'm still at the top of the bag. If you own a pet that eats hay, you know eventually that hay crumbles, then the crumbles turn to dusty powders. I JUST got this bag and I'm disappointed because Sherwood has such awesome ingredients and NO SOY or molasses like some brands (ahem, Oxbow!) Perhaps I got a defect or perhaps it was the shipping/handling that did this. There are still pellets in tact in there but be careful not to agitate the contents too much unless your bunny will lick the powder.Overall, bunny seems to like this MORE than the Oxbow (which I had to feed him up until now because PetSmart is really Pet stupid). I like it too because it's healthier. Hopefully, next bag hold form.

Immediately I noticed that this food had great color to it and a great smell, it smells fresh. My rabbits took to it immediately. Every day they enjoy eating their pellets and I feel good that they’re eating the best that I can give them. You’re definitely paying for quality and for a healthy pellet. If a person cares about their rabbit you should feed this brand. The price outweighs all the vet bills you could have if you fed a junk food. My rabbits have had no issues switching to this we switched over the course of two weeks from the previous food that they were on when I got them. I just feel good that they’re eating a good food.

I love this baby bunny pellet brand. It is very green and my baby bunnies love it. I purchased it before I picked up my two eight week old bunnies. On pick up day, the breeder recommended that I buy the product she uses for her bunnies, Payback Rabbit 16. I regret that purchase. Sherwood Baby Rabbit food is so much greener than Payback. It even smells better. The Payback product contains wheat middlings and rice. I'm not sure why the breeder would use this product. I imagine it was because it is cheap. Our bunnies are now 12 weeks old. The 4.5 lb of Sherwood Baby Rabbit food lasted less than a month for 2 dwarf baby bunnies. But, I have a ton of Payback pellets. I am considering donating the Payback pellets and buying more bags of Sherwood. I definitely plan to purchase more Sherwood Baby and then the Adult food in the future, when our baby bunnies are grown..

This is hands down the best bunny food out there. We began using this food when our bunnies were 6 weeks old. The bunny food the seller provided we used for 2 weeks and was ok, but, we didnt really see it working well for them. Our bunnies are now 11 weeks old, and absolutely LOVE this food. They excitedly jump around waiting to be served and after just a few bites, perform some awesome acrobatics before running back to eat. Our bunnies are now VERY healthy, energetic, happy and haven't experienced a single problem since we began using this food. Which is a major bonus since they were weaned from their mommy too soon. Thank you Sherwood! Later this year when we breed more bunnies for our Autistic son's dream bunny hotel we plan on using this food.We know how delicate the first few months are for baby bunnies, and strongly feel that this food is why our bunnies not only survived but have continued to thrive!

This food most likely saved a litter of cottontails when a cat killed the mother. The little buggers are so spoiled now with feeding them this and fresh produce from my garden that they may never leave! If wild bunnies like this I can just imagine that pet rabbits would too. Never feed wild bunnies unless you are absolutely sure they are orphaned or you risk killing them. Baby bunnies must nurse to survive until they are 3 weeks of age. I was lucky that the kits born under my deck had nursed long enough to survive and digest greens otherwise only bottle feeding at a rescue would save them. Mine are now fat and running all over the place looking for more delicious Hollyhocks and Sherwood baby rabbit food.

Of course they do not sell smaller bags of the "preferred" food the breeder recommended anywhere near me. With just the one bunny, a 50 lb. bag would go to waste. I could, of course, purchase smaller amounts from the breeder, but there's the inconvenience of getting to her location, or the cost of shipping which makes it cost prohibited. So after researching I came across Sherwood and decided to take a chance. Col. Culpepper was a little hesitant at first - the shape is different, and I imagine taste is somewhat, as well. However, he took to it like a champ. I love that it doesn't have all the unnecessary fillers added to it. The smell when you open the bag is SO FRESH. It's almost as though I've just stepped out into a field of timothy. The Col. has since graduated to the adult Sherwood and is still enjoying his pellets ... although he prefers kale ;)
