Rabbit Rabbit Food: Your Bunny for a Healthy LifeUpdated a day ago
Rabbits are herbivores, so their diet should mostly consist of plants. If you're a rabbit owner, here's what you need to know about keeping your bunny healthy and happy.
Hay: The Most Important Food
Hay is the most important food for rabbits, providing essential fiber for digestion and health. Timothy hay is ideal for adults, while alfalfa hay is better for young rabbits.
Fresh Veggies and Greens
Fresh vegetables like romaine lettuce, parsley, and bell peppers should be fed daily. Avoid iceberg lettuce due to its lack of nutrition.
Fresh Fruits (In Moderation)
Fruits like apples and strawberries can be given occasionally in small amounts due to their sugar content.
Pellets: A Small Part of the Diet
Pellets should be a small supplement to the diet, made from timothy hay without added sugars or seeds.
Fresh Water
Fresh water must always be available, and it should be changed daily to keep your rabbit hydrated.
