Im new to rabbits, and the hubby came home with 3 of them. Currently they are on Manna Pro Select Series Pro Formula Rabbit food ( http://www.mannapro.com/products/rabbit ... nformation ). I prefer a non hormonal (and no GMO thing i keep hearing about) diet. So i called a local feed shop (that i hear nothing but good about from alot of ranchers out here) that says they have this general pellet that I can feed my guys, as long as i feed some alfalfa and grass clippings. They sent me the breakdown of the feed. Now since I dont know rabbits that well, can anyone tell me if they will meet/exceed their dietary needs with this stuff as long as i mix in alfalfa and grass/veggy clippings??

Corn is frowned upon for many reasons, one of which is a mold that it carries. Middlings, distillers grains, brewer's yeast, etc. are the leftovers from other processing. No idea what 'horse premix' is either. And "Fungex" doesn't sound good at all- fungicides are pretty nasty, from what I've heard.

I just started my herd on MannaPro, so haven't seen any results yet, but I trust the company to make quality products. I would favor it over this other feed.
 
I would feed manna pro before that. I've seen a lot worse though.
