Bulk of gutloads

[Albula]

What are some of the bulk ingredients that make up gutloads. Currently I've got pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sliced almonds, dried cranberries, flax seeds but they are not for bulk. I've not been able to find wheat bran, dandelion leaves or alfalfa. Any other ideas? Thanks

The dandelion leaves can be found fresh in some of the higher end groceries. The wheat bran is usually found in the organic section in small bags, or in the cereal isle as wheat germ in a glass jar similar in size to a peanut jar.

They sell alfalfa is just about every pet store as people feed it to rabbits etc. the wheat or rice bran would either be in the baking section or near the granola/cereal

Thanks, Found the wheat bran, but the alfalfa I'm having difficulty. Went to a petstore and all they sold was rabbit pellets in about a 5lb bag. Went to other stores and found the same..... rabbit food in bags about 5lbs and the main ingredient was corn meal and not alfalfa. Any other ideas? Thanks

The Petsmart here in town sells whole alfalfa in bags.

Is it supposed to (or does it) look like Hay in a bag? Thanks

Yes, it does look like hay. Read the ingredients to be sure.
