Rabbit Diet Essentials
Rabbits are strict herbivores and require a natural diet high in fiber and low in sugar. Incorrect feeding can lead to serious health issues!
✅ Diet Recommendations
Unlimited Hay (85–90% of diet)
· Should eat a volume of hay equal to their body size daily (Timothy hay for adult rabbits)
· Function: Supports digestive health and wears down continuously growing teeth
Fresh Vegetables (10–15% of diet)
· Feed about 1 cup of fresh vegetables per kilogram of body weight daily
Quality Rabbit Pellets (≤5% of diet)
· Feed about 2 tablespoons of pellets per kilogram of body weight daily
Treats (≤2 times per week)
· Preferred treats: Hay-based snacks (fruits are high in sugar-should eat less)
· Amount: 1–2 tablespoons per serving, 1–2 times weekly
