Rabbits have a sensitive digestive system and specific nutritional needs.

A proper diet is essential for their health, longevity, and preventing issues such as obesity or gastrointestinal disorders.

1. Hay: The Foundation of the Diet

Makes up 70-80% of their daily food intake.

Supports healthy digestion and helps wear down continuously growing teeth.

Tip: Hay should always be fresh, dust-free, and mold-free.

2. Fresh Vegetables

Provide fiber, vitamins, and hydration.

Safe options include:

• Beet greens (rich in vitamin A)
• Red or green leaf lettuce
• Spinach
• Parsley
• Basil
• Pea pods (pods only)
• Brussels sprouts
• Swiss chard
• Broccoli (leaves and stems)
• Dill
• Celery leaves
• Carrot tops

Important: Avoid feeding your rabbit only vegetables, as this can lead to nutritional imbalance.

3. Limited Amounts of Pellets

Choose high-quality pellets.

Avoid mixes with seeds, grains, or added sugars.

Recommended amount: 20–30 grams per day for an adult rabbit (depending on weight).

4. Fresh Water

Always available, preferably in a bowl rather than just a bottle.

Change daily.

5. Treats in Moderation

Allowed: Small pieces of apple, strawberry, or carrot (as an occasional reward, not daily).

Avoid: Sweets, chocolate, bread, biscuits.

Common Feeding Mistakes for Rabbits

• Too many pellets → Obesity and health problems.
• Lack of hay → Constipation and dental issues.
• Excessive fruit → Digestive disorders.
• Sudden diet changes → Gut problems.
• Overfeeding vegetables without enough hay.
