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.

The main portion of a rabbit’s diet should be hay. Pellets make up a very small portion of their diet. I personally like and recommend Oxbow products.

Hay is extremely important in a rabbit's diet so if she is not eating hay, it is a problem. The most common reason is that there is a dental issue. I suggest you have her examined by your vet and be sure they check her teeth. The other possibility is that the quality of the hay has changed, is moldy or is poor in general. You can try a different type to see she likes it better. Oxbow, in my opinion, is the best hay so if you are not using it, I suggest you try it.

You want a cage that is at-least big enough so that she can hop and have a little room to run around. Avoid wire on the bottom of the cage, because this can be hard on her feet. The bigger the cage the better. For more information about rabbit housing, I recommend you read the article at the link below. https://www.mspca.org/pet_resources/the-perfect-home-for-a-rabbit/ I hope that helps and all is well with Beauo.

Hello and thank you for using Boop by Petco. Unfortunately, when I try to enlarge the photo, it is too pixilated to see the fine print and learn what it is. I would recommend to compare the ingredients. If it's a dusk free bedding, it's likely fine to use it. Please write again if you have any questions!
