What is the right diet for your rabbit?
30 June 2021
To maintain a healthy, happy bunny it is important to provide your pet with plenty of water and a good variety of foods.
Whereas most pets will have meals at specific times of the day, rabbits like to graze throughout the whole day.
A rabbit’s diet will largely be made up of hay and pellets, or a Rabbit mix feed. It is best to follow a guide of 80% hay and 20% pellets.
But to provide a balanced diet, it is also good to provide your bunny with fresh fruits and vegetables for them to crunch and chew on.
