As rabbits grow in popularity in the United States, the number of
rabbit foods and treats is growing exponentially. This can lead to
confusion over which products are good to feed and which are the
rabbit equivalent of Lucky Charms®. The
following pages discuss different feeds for bunnies and what role
they play in the diet.
|
Hay is a good source of fiber and should form
the bulk of the house rabbit diet. Check the calcium
level of selected forages. |
|
Water is required for a healthy bunny. |
|
Treats are not required for nutritional reasons
but do help build the relationship between bunnies and their humans. Food
does not have to be "bad" for a bunny to count as a treat. Expensive
commercial treats are not necessary. |
|
Pellets can be part of the healthy house rabbit
diet, but for most rabbits should not form the bulk of their diet. Fresh
foods and hay should make up the bulk of the diet. Pellets provide
balanced vitamins and minerals, as well as calories. There are a number of
brands of pellets on the market, which one is
right for your bunny? |
|
Vegetables are good for bunny, but which are safe to feed? What calcium level do the various vegetables
have? |
This page is currently very US-centric. I will be adding
information about other countries as I can track it down. If there is
a product or manufacturer you would like me to survey and report about
here, please drop me a line.
