Tip 1: Warning signs of digestive upset and the risk of stasis
Digestive health, G.I. tract motility, energy and appetite are all closely related to each other. If one declines then the others will decline too.

Tip 2: Feeding greens will increase signs of digestive upset
Feeding even a small amount of greens to a 6 pound rabbit caused these signs of digestive upset to appear within a few days and it took over a week of not feeding any greens to fix it.

Tip 3: Encourage your pet rabbit to eat more hay and drink more water
by feeding less of these items:
Feed less salads, greens, veggies, and fruits. Feed less grain and soy found in most pellets and treats.
These food items are sweeter than hay and increase digestive and urinary health problems.
When your rabbit eats more dry hay they will drink a lot more water!

Tip 4: If hay is the first ingredient is the formula mostly hay? No!
Grain and soy, in multiple forms, is often hidden in pellets that have hay as the first ingredient.
These pellets are usually less than 35% hay!
Feed Sherwood’s hay based formulas that are grain free and soy free.

Tip 5: Feed real hay and no substitutes!
Sherwood’s formulas contain real hay and don’t use low-cost ingredients, like soybean hulls, as a alternative to using real hay.

Excellent quality and the most healthy pellets I have found
If you are concerned that your pet isn’t eating these pellets it’s mostly because they haven’t gotten use to a real healthy pellet yet. My 3 boys turned up their noses for about a wheek after I switched them out from the snack food pet store garbage I was feeding them. Once they started eating them they empty the dish in a few days. There is also A LOT less white spots where they pee so these are much better for their urinary system. These pellets are a bit expensive but you get what you pay for and your pets health will pay for it if you are feeding them inferior junk food. Same as people I guess.

Great food if you give it time
I’ve had the food for a month or so now and my boys didn’t like it at all when I first gave it to them. But I did the transition from old food to new food and they took to it but didn’t like the new pellets very much. So I left it in the cage and let them eat it when they eventually gave in. My boys kept getting their fresh veggies everyday and I left the Sherwood pellets in their bowl until that bowl was empty. and sure enough I caught my boys eating from it today. Please give it time. Yes still give them their fresh veggies everyday but leave the pellets in the bowl because they will eventually get over the taste and eat it

Great product… but my girls hate it
I love Sherwood products, but this one seems to be really polarizing with piggies. My usually picky boys love these, but it is the only food my girls have ever refused. It was a 5 month battle to get them to adapt, and they’ve won. I gave up and started to transition them back to Oxbow, and within moments they were both eating the Oxbow pellets, and spitting these back into the bowl.Overall, I recommend these if you piggie will eat them! Only thing is there’s no vitamin D added like oxbow does, so something to consider if your piggies don’t get much outdoor time. It can arrive a bit crushed, but you can always turn the dust into a paste for syringe feeding in a pinch.

Apparently Yummy!
My herd chomped these down like candy. They usually got Oxbow pellets so it’s not like they weren’t already getting quality stuff. But apparently the pure timothy was very noticeable. I do wish they were carried in stores nearby though as I’m not great about getting online to order before we run out.

My guinea pigs love this food
My pigs refused to eat other brands of timothy hay based pellets and initially refused this one too, but after leaving it in their cage for a while, they started to love it. Now they clear the bowl in a day and after a couple months of them eating it, I can literally feel their fur get softer. Anybody with guinea pigs should feed them this food, it’s amazing!
