i also go check again n get back to you all loh....but i do clearly remember it to b 20% protein...u check n see if im right?  i was quite shocked loh,its like the highest protein i've ever seen... ;D but then again,u gotta look at the content of fat,fibre as well to ascertain if the food is good. burgess for example,is very low in protein at 12%,relatively ok fibre content(my memory fails me as to how much--should b 20+%) abut rather high in fat (4%) APD timmy pellets has about 16% protein,2%fat n 30% fibre.. but my bunnies REFUSE to eat APD tho i think its healthier..  |

Me check liao ...... Crude Protein : 18% Crude Fats : 2% Crude Fiber : 17% Ash : 9% Moisture : 10% Find the content ok leh . Fiber a bit low , so me provide more hay instead ! so should b ok rite ? . If i dun feed her this hor , she won't eat Oxbow n can even go on strike ! Tried it b4 liao ..... end up lying in her cage all day , me somemore thought she going 2 die lor !!!  |

actually hor... that link i posted recommended burgess for feeding your bunnies... Nutritional content breakdown as follows Burgess Supa Adult  Burgess Excel Junior or Dwarf  No mention of protein content to be 20% leh... maybe you all referring to another brand and i never read properly... ;D opps...  |

Daniel u read wrongly lah. I think Bubblez was saying that Minimal has 20% protein. Not Burgess. I think I fed too much pellets liaoz, that's why my Starry has that milky urine problem.

i changed my bunnies pellets from oxbow to apd about 1+ mth ago and so far no problem. they behave like they r having pellets for the last time. personally, looking at the contents, i think apd is healthier so i'm happy they are taking it well. i give one handful of pellets to each bunny and their urine is always clear. |

My Starry urine sometimes clear, sometimes not. So I told my bf to feed him one handful PER DAY. AIyah... my bf fed him lotsa vege. So i think it's ok, he wun starve to death cos there are leftovers of vege sometimes.

huh... i have never seen before leh......u sure its not for hammies one? my bunnies REFUSE to eat APD leh. i mixed with oxbow for my Biscuit n she jus stopped eating n instead started eating all the hay...For Pearl,she rather starve then touch the APD pellets i mixed with Burgess..she will pick out all the burgess n then leave all the APD..i tried leaving the APD there for a couple of days n stil she refuses to touch...haiz ...i think APD is super healthy tho judging by the content....however was thinking....do u think its possible for manufacturers to give wrong/misleading info about the nutritional content of the food? |

hmmm, dun think apd can afford to give wrong info man. what if consumers/retailers find out, their reputation go down the drain... also dunno y your bunnies refuse to eat. i know i not supposed to change to new pellets completely but i did. even the new bunny has no problem eating all guess my bunnies super duper not fussy eater, got things to eat beta eat! |
