Look for a variety that’s suitable for your rabbits’ needs. Indoor rabbits can require a specialist diet with added vitamin D. Junior rabbits have a higher metabolic rate than adults, so look for a junior rabbit food with a higher protein level. High quality feeding hay or fresh grass should make up 85-90% of your rabbits’ diet. Supplement this with a small portion of rabbit nuggets. The Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund (RAWF) recommends around 1 egg-cup full of rabbit nuggets, fed twice a day, per rabbit – along with the occasional healthy treat.

This rabbit food can help improve rabbits’ metabolism and strengthen their overall immunity. It works well as a daily supplement to a regular diet of hay and fresh greens, helping your pets achieve optimal digestive and dental health. In terms of nutritional requirements, the food has 17% protein, which is slightly higher than recommended for pet rabbits, but this shouldn’t cause any problems for a healthy rabbit and makes it suitable for nursing mums. It also contains 16% fibre, which could be a little bit higher to reach recommended levels. 4% fat means that there is no added fat, and is considered a healthy amount. HAY PROVIDES VITAL FIBRE:Top quality feeding hay is an excellent source of fibre and plays a vital part in digestion. Rabbits need to keep their digestive systems busy with a mix of two kinds of fibre moving through the gut at all times. These types of fibre are called digestible fibre and indigestible fibre. They get this fibre mainly from high quality feeding hay. However, the food is expensive, and some ingredients, like wheat and soybean, are not considered natural additions to a rabbit’s diet. Also, the primary ingredient is alfalfa hay: alfalfa hay is typically advised for young rabbits and may give adult rabbits an upset stomach. Hay and grass are important not only for rabbits’ nutrition but also for their teeth. Since rabbits’ teeth continue to grow throughout their lives, chewing on fibres such as grass and hay helps to grind them down. That said, remember that freshly cut grass is toxic for rabbits.If you’ve got some golden oldies, they may benefit from mature rabbit food with added glucosamine to support healthy joints, and added ginseng for increased vitality. If you have rabbits that are prone to weight gain, ingredients such as L-carnitine can help to promote lean body mass. Excel Feeding Hay & Grass: High-quality, dust-extracted hay for rabbits or fresh grass should make up 85-90% of your rabbits’ diet. You should make sure that it is freely available and replaced with fresh hay every day.

Your cavy chums can be fed fresh greens as these are a great source of vitamin C, additional nutrients and provide some variety to their diet. However, you need to be careful about which greens you feed and how much. As a guide, feed no more than a teacup-sized amount a day to avoid tummy upsets, which you can split between morning and evening feeds. Excel Burgess Nuggets With Mint Adult Rabbit Food is a grass pellet-based food that is fortified with vitamins and minerals and with added mint for extra appeal. If you’re at all unsure about the best rabbit food, how often to feed your rabbits or if you have any concerns about specific nutritional requirements, ask your local veterinary practice for advice.

Lettuce – Some types of lettuce, such as iceberg, contain lactucarium, which can be harmful to rabbits in large quantities. Light-coloured lettuce varieties are high in water and have very little nutritional value and will probably just give your rabbits the runs. There are a few items that are classed as unsafe food for rabbits and therefore should be avoided altogether. These include: There are all sorts of temptingly tasty feeding hay and dried grass for rabbits to eat and enjoy and individual bunnies will no doubt have their favourites.
