: I do not know if it is common pratice now but when I did raise rabbits some companies had a bad habit of not putting on the label if the pelletts where medicated or not. This is one big reason I had to search for a company that had all natural ingredints ( that goes for poultry as well ) . Why treat an animal for something it has not caught yet .

Good point! The baby chick feed all is supposed to have antibiotics in it but its not listed on the bag.
If a person insists on feeding alfalfa pellets, is there a kind that doesnt have this kind of stuff in it that you know of?
Thanks,
tcc :)


: If you do use rabbit pellets make sure you ask for a full list of whats in it before you buy it. It will save you some head ach down the road .

: : : some feed companies do put aditives such as antibiotics in the pellets . I know about this as I use to raise show rabbits . Alot of rabbit breeders would complain about this as they used some of thier rabbits for freash meat .
