Feeding

Rabbits are herbivores and need a nutritous and stable diet in order for them to remain healthy. If you are buying a bunny which eats a different pellet mix to what you intend to buy, it is a good idea to ask for a bagful of the mix they use and you use this to wean them off it. This prevents tummy upsets. Bit by bit each day add more of the mix you want to use and less of the mix they are used to. However some bunnies are fussy and you have to use a mix they like.

Food you can feed your bunny

• Bunny mix (recommended make) Burgess Supa Excel; rabbit nuggets which contain a balanced level of vitamins and minerals which prevents your rabbit picking out parts of its diet it does not like
• Hay (doubles up as bedding)
• Green foods such as dandilion leaves
• Root vegetables such as carrots (not too many of these)
• Fruit such as apples
• Rabbits also eat their own droppings and these are known as night faeces. They eat these to maintain the goodness that they missed first time around. The dry currant shaped droppings are not eaten. Eating of the faece (Caecotrophy) must not be prevented as it is vital to your bunnies health
