Questions on Bunnies..

[sanz33]

yep, it's pellets for adult rabbits. they come in various sizes: 2lbs, 5lbs & 10lbs.

A rough estimate of the pricing:
Oxbow Bunny Basics/T
>> 2 lbs S$10.00
>> 5 lbs S$13.80
>> 10 lbs S$20.80

too much protein liao!! ;D try mixing Oxbow Bunny Basics/T with hagen, NOT Burgess.

Why not burgess? it IS recommended by Dr Ling n the protein content is only 12% for the Burgess Adult,that isnt a lot,it is in fact lower than Oxbow i believe? i guess oxbow,burgess,apd are all good brands to try. its individual preferences ba..as long as the bunny is healthy,should b ok.

Ya...thanks,Bubblez & Sanz....me back from serang nth liao.....will be going there this sat again....got so many things to buy....phew!!really spend quite a lot today,hahaha....

thanks bubbles for info: didn't realise burgess has lesser protein % than apd and oxbow.

ghost> below is the nutritional analysis of burgess, oxbow and apd:

Burgess
Protein 12%, Oil 4%, Ash 7%, Fibre 14%, Calcium 0.90%, Phosphorous 0.51%, Vitamin A 11,000 iu/kg, Vitamin D3 1,500 iu/kg, Vitamin E (alpha tocopherol acetate) 60 iu/kg, Copper as cupric sulphate 15 mg/kg

Oxbow
Protein 14%, Oil 1.5%, Fibre (min) 25% (max) 29%, Calcium (min) 0.35% (max) 0.85%, Phosphorous 0.25%, Vitamin A 10,000 iu/kg, Salt (min) 0.50% (max) 1%

APD

you will need to make a comparison across the different brands and consider the other ingredients as well like oil, fibre and calcium apart from protein.

Yo,finally it's saturday...going serang nth for another short shopping spree tomorrow again....

Sanz >> Thanks again.....

I don't know if my philosophy is right or wrong....i usually don't believe a certain one type of pet food that is "really" good for the animals,that's why me being kiasu,will usually mix my Pet's food.....& trying my best to help my pets to achieve a well-balance diet....even for beddings too.....& i know it;s a bit mafan....but that's how what i do for hamsters,hehehe.....

[ghost]

Ok,tonite is going to be the night which i'll be rehoming the 2 rabbits....before that,think i'll go get that basket & some bunnies food at serang nth 1st....my coll's 2 daughters after seeing the bunnies's pics has already named the rabbit & have been looking fwd to the bunnies arrival liao.....wish me luck!

[cottontail]

Wishing the bunnies happiness in their new home, with lots of love and tender care.

Thanks,everyone...the rehoming goes on smoothly...well,except when i need to transfer the bunnies from the basket to the cage that time,we face a little difficulty,plus i really spend a "bomb" this time rehoming the bunnies.Me took a cab to marine parade central to get the basket,then to serang nth to buy their food,after head towards yishun to collect the bunnies,after that send my friend home again,then i'm off....but lucky all went well....& below are some of the pics taken to share with everyone here with my new Sony P10 digi cam,hehehe.... I know the cage is definitely too small,2morow the new owner of the bunnies will go & buy a much bigger cage....meantime,they'll have to bear with the 1.5 feet for 1 night.....

ghost > try to put floor tiles / bathroom mat for the bunnies, so they can rest their feet on it. step on wired floor too long might cause sore hocks. v uncomfy.

no need put whole cage with that lor. just enuff for both to rest when they want to, can liao.

[ghost]

Ya....thanks for the reminder...in fact i've already told em liao....they'll put bath room mat in their new cage,but they gonna wash it 1st(they already have some at home in their bathroom liao)....think i've already more or less equip them with everything liao....if there are anything u think they'll need to know,pls let me know & i'll convey the message to them....Thanks!!
