Oxbow has pellets and timothy hay in their product line. The majority of the diet should be timothy hay or similar grasses. Pellets should be limited to no more than a 1/2 cup daily. Alfalfa should not be offered after 7 months of age. Trim nails every 3-4 weeks if necessary. Your veterinarian can show you how initially. Teeth should be checked monthly. A yearly exam should include a dental exam and teeth trimming if indicated. Symptoms of overgrown teeth include decreased appetite, drooling, pawing at the mouth, swelling or discharge.

As far as dog food goes, I tend to recommend Hill's Science Diet or the higher end Purina products. If you are looking to go a more natural route you would want to try something like Earthborn or Acana. Periodontal disease can be delayed with regular teeth brushing if Ratchett will allow it. You should be able to purchase most of what I mentioned at one of those stores. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for reaching out about Moyel. For a medium sized rabbit like this, then entire tube of the 5 pound and under can be used, even though she is slightly larger than 5 pounds. It should be repeated monthly for 2-3 applications. All rabbits in the house need to be treated even if no evident lesions. Cats can also possible transmit this. Also, don't forget to have her spayed as intact female rabbits could have a rate of uterine cancer up to 50% by three year of age. Good luck.

You can supplement her commercial pellets or blocks with a small amount of fresh fruit (apple, blueberries, strawberries, etc), some fresh greens and a small amount of vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, etc). Be sure to remove any uneaten food after 8-10 hours.

Thanks for reaching out about Fluffy. Oxbow Critical Care is basically, mulched hay, with added nutrients. The high fiber content is important for the health of the intestinal tract. It being mulched, allows less energy needed to masticate prior to ingestion. Added vitamins and other nutrients will help sick/ill animals in recovery. Good luck.
