Hay ?

[bluemini]

I saw on here somewhere but can find it now,where you dont need to feed hay with a high quality pellet,I have always fed hay but it would be better and save money if it wasnt needed.

So what makes a good pellet food ? Like % of fiber,protein and all that ? Thanks

I use hay every other day. Its cheaper to by a good hay for them and feed everyother day then $20 bag of good rabbit food. Justr makes the Pellets last longer. jim
