Horse pellets are usually called cubes. They are the size of your thumb. That's why I always add (rabbit chow) when I talk about alfalfa. The reason for the molasses is that the vitamins and alfalfa taste bad. Real Purina Rabbit Chow probably has all those nutritional supplements, too. I don't have a problem with the supplements. Microbes are critters, too. They need their vitamins and minerals.

I get my cracked corn & alfalfa at TSC. Why not just the bags separately? Corn is always under $10.

@dc - The pellets are for horses. They come in multiple sizes. When I went looking for rabbit chow they only had 5 lb bags that were expensive. When I asked about larger bags they asked why not just get the "horse stuff."

Word to the wise--avoid the alfalfa horse cubes.

Er, not that *I* would ever make such a mistake of course... :-)

If that's what you can get, and it's pellets, it's probably just fine. Certainly there's nothing on the list that makes me nervy! Your lawn and gardens don't require the vitamins (plants make their own, as do most micro-organisms, or they get them easily from the environment), but they're not going to hurt anything. The additives are all in minor enough amounts that it won't be an issue.

You may find that the bags of just corn or just alfalfa are cheaper, and if so, buy those instead. I keep a bag of alfalfa on-hand for the roses, but partially discontinued use this year. At their first bloom, the roses bent over and touched the ground due to the number and weight of the blooms, so I've been over-feeding...
