Bunday Sunday!

Meet Toby and Sparkles. Toby is the black rabbit and Sparkles the one with the tan markings. Sadly these beautiful bunnies have a past filled with neglect and abuse. Aurin was working as a tech assistant at a humane society a year and a half ago when these two were brought in. Injured, dirty and hungry, Toby and Sparkles had to undergo surgery and weeks of healing. While Toby and Sparkles recovered, gained weight and grew healthy, Aurin was there to snuggle them, give them the love and attention they needed as well as administer their medications. When they had finally healed enough to enter foster care Aurin immediately volunteered and adopted them soon after. Toby and Sparkles are never apart, their bond inseparable and now have the loving, forever home they’ve always deserved.

Thanks Aurin!

in Guelph! The clinic is staffed with multiple exotic vets, surgeons

vets at Ontario Veterinary College. I could write a book on how many
times they have saved one of my critters. I personally would not
trust buns, chins, degus, etc. to anywhere else – and they do avian,
too. Top-notch, state of the art hospital and probably the most
important thing ever, 24-hour emergency care for exotics!’ – L.

‘All of the vets here are equally good, caring, gentle and know their stuff. There was once, a really aggressive cat that was brought in and the vet managed to hush it and make it purr. Another time, someone brought in a very ill bunny and this one dog was barking really loudly at it. The vet immediately led the owner and his bunny to a quieter room so the bunny wouldn’t be in more distress. Two of my friends who both have rabbits also recommend this clinic.’ 🙂 – C.

http://uwveterinarycare.wisc.edu/small-animal/exotic-species/rodentia/
‘Great for emergency service at night if I need to take them in immediately or if it’s during the daytime they can usually make a space for me to bring them in. They are amazing but they are pricey as they’re a university hospital and have the highest technology available. I therefore only use this one for emergencies and risky surgeries that my other vet doesn’t have much experience in.’ – L.

REVIEW: Living World Green Adult Rabbit Food by Hagen

IMG_8246

Living World Green is a new line by Hagen that has recently launched in Canada. LWG products claim to bring your small pet closer to nature with their wholesome food, treats, habitats and toys while also being eco-friendly. Their foods are packaged in re-sealable bags made of recycled materials and have a natural and fresh look to them.

The Living World Green Adult Rabbit Food boasts superior nutrition with no added sugar, gluten or preservatives while also being 100% grain-free and made in Canada. Their pellets contain CelluPlus which is exclusive to the new Living World Green Line. Hagen says this is a unique cellulose formula that aids in digestion and contributes to your pets overall well-being.

IMG_8224

The LWG rabbit food also contains a rich blend of freshly harvested timothy hays and grasses, features an abrasive texture which promotes healthy tooth development and provides a well-balanced diet for your rabbit by providing him/her with all of the necessary proteins, fibre, vitamins and minerals they need to stay healthy and happy.

A decent adult rabbit food should have a fibre content that is greater than 18%, a fat content that is no more than 5% and a protein content that doesn’t exceed 15%. Not only does this product meet these requirements but it is also composed of minimal ingredients that make up these values. This means that unlike many other brands of food available, the Living World Green Adult Rabbit Food is not heavily reliant on fillers.

IMG_8193

As Ollie has an extremely sensitive stomach, I was quite excited to give the new Living World Green Adult Rabbit Food a try. In October I slowly began weaning Willow and Ollie on to these pellets. They took to the food eagerly and seemed to enjoy the texture and flavour of them. Most impressively though is that Ollie has not experienced any stomach upsets since we switched to the LWG food. He has since put on some much needed weight and become more active, even doing the occasional binky! This was something I rarely saw him do prior to switching to the LWG pellets and I believe it’s because he feels better. Both Ollie and Willow’s coats have become thicker, shinier and softer. I have since switched Rocky and Honey to the new LWG food who also enjoy the flavour of these pellets and have been content on this brand.

IMG_8239

Pros:

  • Great for all adult rabbits, even those with the most sensitive of stomachs
  • 100% grain-free, pelleted formula
  • Meets all nutritional requirements
  • My rabbit’s weights have been easily maintained on this food and I have actually found I can feed a little less on a daily basis, while still having their weight stay the same, allowing the bag to last longer
  • The bag is eco-friendly and resealable with an airtight seal
  • No added sugar, gluten or preservatives
  • All four of our rabbits enjoy the taste of these pellets
  • Coats have become thicker, shinier and softer

Cons:

  • The retail price of this food is a little high when compared to other Canadian brands such as Martin Mills. That being said, for me the noticeable health benefits of this food far outweigh any cost concerns.

Please remember when changing your pet’s diet to do so gradually.

Thank you so much to Hagen Small Pet Care for sending us this product to review!

Look forward to more reviews of the new Living World Green products by Hagen in upcoming weeks!
