I'm trying to transition away from pellets and I'm having some trouble figuring this out. I keep seeing barley mentioned for rabbits, but I can't seem to find it in my area. The stores near me have oats, both rolled and whole, and corn, either cracked or whole. That's all I'm finding as far as single grains. I can also get alfalfa cubes or pellets, beet pulp shreds, and some grain mixes. There is sweet feed, all stock, and scratch grains.
I know oats are fine to feed, but I just feel like it is not enough variety. Are any of the other things I listed enough to make up a well rounded diet? We also feed grass hay and goodies like dandelion and such from the yard. I haven't had much luck finding alfalfa hay, but maybe as we get further into spring/summer I'll have better luck. Any other suggestions?
