An adult rabbits diet ought to be comprised of fresh, leafy green vegetables, countless timothy hay (not alfalfa), & pellets in moderation. Freshwater ought to be available at all times. You can provide this in either a bottle or a bowl.Rabbits enjoy leafy green vegetables; see the following page for a partial list of greens that may be incorporated in to a healthy rabbit diet. Because of a high sugar content, feed carrots & corn in moderation. The average rabbit ought to receive about two packed cups of greens per day, & at least 4-5 different types each day to make sure receiving all the necessary nutrients.
Timothy hay ought to be obtainable at all times. Rabbits have a sensitive digestive process, and the timothy hay helps keep that process healthy!
An average-sized adult rabbit usually ought to receive a 1/4 to 1/2 cup pellets per 6 lbs. of body weight (depending on metabolism and/or proportionate to veggies). A more sensible choice for adult rabbits is a timothy hay-based pellet. Rabbits under a year elderly will be fne with countless alfalfa-based pellets, in addition to hay and leafy greens.
Do not buy pellets with seeds, grains, or colored treats mixed in. These added ingredients are not healthy for rabbits, but are added because they look fascinating to consumers. For young bunnies, and pregnant and lactating rabbits, select an alfalfabased pellet that is 16% protein.
