Essential Rabbit Feeding Tips
Hay is non-negotiable. 80–90% of your rabbit’s diet must be unlimited good-quality hay. It is not optional — hay maintains healthy gut motility and prevents the deadly condition GI stasis.
Rotate your greens. Offer at least 3–4 different leafy greens daily. Rotation prevents overexposure to any single compound and ensures nutritional variety.
Pellets are not a meal — they are a supplement. Many owners dramatically overfeed pellets. Too many pellets means your rabbit fills up and stops eating enough hay.
Fruit is a treat, not food. Maximum 1–2 teaspoons of fruit per day. The natural sugars in fruit can disrupt gut bacteria and contribute to obesity.
Fresh water always. Change water daily. Some rabbits prefer a bowl over a bottle — try both. Hydration is essential for kidney and digestive health.
Introduce new foods slowly. Change no more than one new food at a time and wait 48 hours to check for soft caecotropes or digestive upset before adding another.
