How to Feed your Rabbit

~General Feeding Knowledge~

        It is not a good idea to allow your rabbit all the food it wants.  Free feeding your rabbit will allow the rabbit to become overweight, which   decreases the rabbit’s lifespan and causes health problems.

·        Always provide your rabbit with fresh water

·        A good quality GRASS hay (Timothy, Orchard, etc.)  can always be given to the rabbit, in as much quantity as you like. 

·        The most important part of your rabbit’s diet is a high quality pellet feed.  Good brands of feed include, but are not limited to :  Purina, Mana Pro and Pen Pals, most feeds you get at your farm store will be good feeds.

·        When you get your new rabbit you should feed it its original food for the first night, and then mix what you have left with your new food.  This will allow the rabbit to transition to your new food easier.

~Breed Feeding Requirements~

Holland Lops

·        ½ Cup one time per day.

Netherland dwarfs

·        1/3 Cup one time per day

~Good Treats~

Treats should be fed in moderation, and baby bunnies should not get any veggies of fruits until they are older, as it is hard on them and may cause them to get sick.  Babies can have oatmeal, and Cheerios though.
