Rabbits have sensitive digestive systems. Avoid problems by feeding the right diet from the start. Good nutrition also lowers the risk of disease.

Veterinary experts recommend you feed:

Hay: 75-80% of diet. Hay provides fiber, calories, stimulates gut motility, and controls cecal fermentation. A diet of mostly hay is absolutely critical to maintaining healthy teeth and gut.

High Fiber Pellet: 20% of diet. Provides calories, protein, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids. Pellets should be limited. It is easy to overfeed pellets if not measured. Pellets lack the benefits of hay and veggies and should not be fed in isolation.

Green Veggies: 5-15% of diet. A variety of greens provide vitamins, minerals, and water. Rotate weekly as a diversity of nutrient sources is desired.

Treats: should be extremely limited. No more than 1 tsp. maximum daily.

Do Not Feed: yogurt drops, popcorn, bread, nuts, seeds, crackers, or dried fruit with added sugar
