I recently bought a new bag of 10lbs Oxbow 15/23. I was told a few months ago that it was good bunny food. I thought so too after reading the ingredients list online. I was reading through the ingredients list on my new bag when I noticed something I didn't see/overlooked the last time.

I don't know much about rabbit food, but limestone? And also, Menadione is synthetic vitamin K (vitamin K3 I think) and its linked to lier problems in dogs. Is it as harmful to rabbits, with their sensitive deigestive tract and all. My bun is doing really well on Oxbow and I'd hate to switch her to another brand.
