Nutrina?

[Goldenbelmont]

Is it safe to feed chins Nutrina rabbit pellets? I went to my local feed store and the only rabbit feed was Nutrina. couldnt find purina rabbit feed to save my life

 

[starleomach]

I feed nutrina rabbit, so do many other people.

 

[Goldenbelmont]

alright thanks will pick up the bag tomorrow then.

I use Nutrena Nature Wise 16%. I wouldn't go with the 18%, the extra high protein really isn't necessary.

 

[LovingChins&Hedgies]

I use Nutrena. I use the Nature Wise 16%, as well.

 

[susansheila]

I feed Nutrena as well and my boys love it.

I use the Nutrena Nature Wise 16%

I'm thinking on switching from PANR Show to Nutrena. Which Nutrena they both say Nature Wise but one says Performance?

 

[menagerie]

I'm in the process of switching over to Nutrena.

Performance is the 18%.

Yup on what Meanie said.

When I was having troubles with feed I talked to Gene Adcock and he suggested Manna or Nutrena. I did the Manna, but wasn't overly impressed with it. I didn't try the Nutrena, but I've heard people have good luck with it. I currently have mine custom milled and I don't see that changing ever, I love my current feed!

You get your feed milled for you... How much do you have to buy, for them to consider that?

 

[Riven]

I get one ton at a time, but I run nearly 100 chins, lol. Each mill is different, sometimes you can find a half ton mill, sometimes it has to be 2 tons.

One of my rabbit friends is VERY annoyed that the Nutrena tag is now labeled "forage products" and not specifically indicating alfalfa, etc. (I don't feed it so haven't seen a tag recently). Is this just up in the Great White North with the mills here, or have others noticed a tag change too? Its causing quite a stir with some Iowa & Wisconsin rabbit raisers.

 

[shubbles]

2 tons holy s**t thats alot of food.

 

[TheNobleFight]

You must sell a good deal of that feed off... Even if they ate 2lbs a month, you would be +1400 lbs by expiration. Then again, it is cold where you live, and feed might keep longer.

 

[threewingedfury]

It's not that hard to go through feed when you have a lot of chins. I go through a 50 lb bag every two weeks with just over 30 chins (plus kits). So 100 lbs a month. She's probably going through 2 bags a week, if not more. 400 lbs a month. That's more than a ton every 6 months.

 

[Riven]

I get a ton at a time, and go through around 100#'s per week between the breeders, house chins, and rescues. I easily go through a ton in less than 6 months, and I expect that time will be getting shorter and shorter of a time with me picking up more cages, lol.

I've noticed less wasting with this feed which is great as well.

I actually don't sell any out but certainly could if someone wanted some. I used to sell feed when I had the chin store open, but that seems like forever ago now...

Riven I miss the chin store :cry3: I wish it would come back you only had some of the best products on the market!
