Is Marten's Mills Purina?
It seems to me Marten's Pet Foods and Purina are related, but I may be wrong.
We are in Ontario and have been using pellets from Alliston Feed Mill and I know some folks get Floradale.
I just picked up a bag of Purina and it is lower protein and fat (only 15% protein) so I will be going back to Alliston's 16% feed.

This is the specific food that Bug4H is asking about :

The analysis for this one is :
GUARANTEED ANALYSIS
Crude Protein (min.) 12.5%
Crude Fat (min.) 2.5%
Crude Fibre (min) 20.0%
Crude Fibre (max.) 24.0%
Moisture (max) 10.0%
Sodium (actual) 0.20%
Calcium (actual) 0.6%
Phosphorus (act) 0.5%
Vitamin A (min) 17,250 I.U./kg
Vitamin D3 (min) 2,150 I.U./kg
Vitamin E (min) 54 I.U./kg
Calories per 8oz cup: 221
They have one for younger rabbits as well.
We use this brand with our degus - but use the guniea pig food, not rabbit food for them.
We have had no problems with quality or mould, probably because they are not HUGE bags like you see at feed stores
I don't believe they are related in any way to Purina, not that I can tell from the website.
Looks like an Ontario based company that began as a family owned operation. <br /><br /> -- Tue Jul 07, 2015 10:32 am -- <br /><br /> I'm just going to bump this up for Bug - since she now has a "bring home" date for her bunny

Protein seems very low... I know we use 16% and done use 18% -- hopefully someone more experienced can answer.
