Their products are manufactured in Nebraska, and their hay is all grown in the USA.

It contains the vitamins and minerals needed to give your small pets a well-rounded, wholesome meal. All Oxbow Essentials products include Timothy hay, which is known for its digestibility.

The small animals that need hay in addition to Oxbow food include rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, tortoises, prairie dogs, degus and others. Plus, many small animals like rats, hamsters, mice, gerbils, hedgehogs and ferrets will forage, nest and play in the hay.

Yes, most pet stores have a small animal section with a variety of toys. Look for chew toys with safe woods such as willow, apple, birch, spruce and aspen. Soft toys and exercise wheels are also good options.

Hello. Great question! If you have Marshmallow on a high quality diet you should not need to feed any supplements/vitamins. The majority of the diet should be hay. I recommend Oxbow products: ( https://www.kohepets.com.sg/oxbow-hay-blends-western-timothy-orchard-grass ) ( https://www.kohepets.com.sg/oxbow-bunny-basics-young-rabbit-food ) Oxbow has a lot of good products - treats and other types of hay, etc. Anything you use from them will be good. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Thanks for reaching out again. We don't have a list of local veterinarians, but check to see if there is a local rabbit rescue and who they recommend. Ask pet stores, emergency clinics on who they would recommend also. The least expensive veterinarian might not be the cheapest route. The best rabbit veterinarian might be less expensive in the long run, requiring less diagnostic testing to treat your rabbit. Good luck.

It's actually quite normal to feel some bones on a rabbit with a normal body condition, so I would check the body condition using the link below as a guide: https://research.unc.edu/files/2012/11/Body-Condition-Scoring-Rabbit.pdf If she is a body condition of one, then it's best to have Lulu evaluated by a vet, because it's possible that she has a medical condition that is causing her to be thin. If it's in-fact due to a lack of nutrition, then I recommend feeding a diet of free-choice Oxbow pellets, high-quality hay and grass. It will also be good to feed fruits and vegetables about twice a day. When she gets to a more normal body condition, the fruits and vegetables should be no more than 10% of her diet and the diet should be mostly grass and hay. Diet changes with Rabbits should be gradual. Changing the diet too quickly can alter the normal gut flora significantly and cause major problems. If she has a lack of appetite or loose stools at any time, then I recommend taking

The whey protein in this treat should not pose a problem unless Sweetie has a sensitivity to it. This is one of the better quality treats. Remember to feed treats in moderation to prevent obesity or finicky eating.
