    Does anyone know of a wholesaler or co-op or somewhere that sells large quantites of rabbit food at a reasonable price.
    At the moment I feed my rabbits Burgess Adult Food (ordered online) and spend 120e a month feeding them.
    If anyone knows of an alternative rabbit food or somewhere who sells it I would be grateful. :)

    Wow you must have a lot of bunnies! Have you looked on Amazon, they sell 10+15KG bags for very reasonable prices.

    Also are you supplementing their diet with veggies? I got friendly with a local green grocer and used to get loads of free carrots, broccoli, celery, they loved it and it kept the price of the dry food down. Oh and get a bale of hay from a local farmer and supplement their diet with that as well, they love a bit of roughage and it's good for their teeth as well.

    Thank you :)

    I have quite a few bunnies as I breed on a very small scale; but the majority of them are actually just my pets.

    I feed them the pellets, veggies and meadow hay every day. I didnt think about buying a bale of hay. Thank you for that tip. I pay 7e for a 5kg bag of hay so that would be a big saving.

    I would order online but its usually the delivery charge that kills me.

    Thanks for your help :)

    If you order over a certain amount from medicanimal.com then delivery here is free. Prices are fairly reasonable too. Thats where I get my Supreme Science from.
