The specific feeding of rabbits
You have just welcomed a rabbit into your home and you want to give it the best possible food? Here are our tips to keep it healthy.
General information about Rabbit
Rabbits eat small meals throughout the day. These small rodents (or lagomorphs if you want to be precise) must eat regularly so as not to upset their stomachs. The digestive system of rabbits is very sensitive. It is therefore important to constantly provide them with hay to prevent any digestive problems.
Hay: the main food for your rabbit
Hay is the rabbit's staple food. In order to protect the stomach and teeth of these rodents, a diet rich in fibre is essential. The hay must therefore be of good quality and made available to your rabbit all day long. You should also be careful not to give your rabbit dry food rich in cereals. Cereals are bad for these rodents and can be harmful in too large quantities. If the food you give your rabbit is not adapted, it risks gaining weight and developing bad teeth.
rabbit Fresh food
Fresh grass and dandelion are very popular with rabbits and will cost you much less than a ready-made bag of food, provided you have a garden or park nearby to get them. In addition, fruits and vegetables, rich in nutrients, should be given to the rabbits every day. Make sure to wash the food beforehand and remove any leftover food that your rabbit may have left in its cage. But first, find out what types of fruit and vegetables are suitable for rabbits.
Branches/ twigs
Rabbits' teeth grow very fast. Their teeth wear out quickly. It is therefore necessary for them to nibble twigs daily.
Water: indispensable for rabbit feeding
Water is just as important as the food you give your rabbit. Water is just as important as the food you give your rabbit. It should be filled regularly throughout the day. Make sure you change the water daily and clean your rabbit's cage regularly.
