We use(d) Manna Pro Select serried Pro Formula but now our current rabbits Lovey and Softfall won't eat it. So we are going to be having switch to the feed they are used to
I really dislike most brand name rabbit food, as most of them switch/ change the feed ingredients, dependent on what is cheeper, that month or quarter. We, feeding our rabbits see the feed rejection, or symptoms that look like GI trouble and ASSUME the problem is with our rabbits or ourselves. When in reality it is a feed change that caused the trouble-- The feed companys never change the label to reflect the change in ingredients, and-- they ASSUME that because the "nutrient values " didn't change {ie= 16% protein} that they don't need to.
--I used Blue Seal rabbit feed over Nutrina, Purina, and Mana pro, just because they have a "dedicated formula" and the feed ingredients, and ingredient ratios, do not change between batches.
I once had a huge problem on my farm with "sick", and "off feed" animals, -I checked the feed and-- it did smell different, - I finally found out that "Tomato by-product" was extreemly cheep that quarter -- and the Nutrina feed company had used a bunch of it in the feed rations-- --the sudden change in feed, as well as all the tomato had caused the problem.I contacted Purina, to see if changing feed would help-- and found that they had done the same thing, --
I am sure this did not help you much, -- but the point is-- there may be unseen reasons why animals go "off feed"-- other then disease, or just being "moody"- or "spoiled"
