Product Information

We got so excited when the postman brought our last 10kg bag, Simba bolted outside to follow the man to the van! Although both rodents and lagomorphs have continuously growing teeth, lagomorphs such as the rabbit have an extra pair of peg teeth behind their front incisors (the large front teeth). The lower incisors rest against these peg teeth. They are relatively high in fibre (23%) put at the lower end of the scale for protein (12%). They also have a fat content of 5%, which is higher than most other rabbit foods. This is another pellet food that utilizes alfalfa hay as its main ingredient. This does help make it suitable for all life stages, but it also means that adult rabbits might be better suited with a different food formula. Fibre: The higher the fibre content (look for a minimum of 18%) generally the better the food will be for your rabbit's digestion. Science Selective Rabbit helps to prevent selective feeding as the high quality ingredients are blended into pellets and are highly palatable.

If you are feeding Selective to your rabbits for the first time, make sure you change from one food to another, gradually over 10-14 days. At first, you should mix a small amount of Selective with your rabbits’ current food, slowly decreasing the old diet, whilst gradually increasing the quantity of Selective. A sudden change in diet can cause digestive upsets – even when you are changing to a better quality diet – so take care! If your rabbits are used to a sugary diet, you may find it takes them a while to change, but persevere as it will help to benefit your rabbits’ health in the long term.

Oxbow Essentials Adult Rabbit Food is an expensive food, but it does use Timothy grass meal as its main ingredient.

It also has 2% fat, which is lower than a lot of other commercial rabbit foods and is also considered a good level.

While you can provide a cat or dog with all of its nutritional requirements from a single source, this isn’t possible with rabbits. They need a variety of food types, not only ensuring that they get the right amount of protein and fibre in their diet but also ensuring that they get all essential vitamins and minerals. A rabbit’s diet can also affect things like dental health, weight, and digestive health.

Supreme's Science Selective Rabbit is a premium rabbit food formulated for all adult rabbits aged over 4 months. Alfalfa hay is generally recommended for junior rabbits because it is higher in calcium and protein than grass hay, and both are important for a young rabbit’s development. It can prove too rich for adults, which means it can lead to upset stomachs and other gastrointestinal complaints. Oxbow Alfalfa Hay is sold as suitable for all life stages, but unless you need to feed more calcium or protein, you should consider a Timothy or other grass hay. Many rodents eat meat as well as plants and their bodies are adapted to allow them to digest the different food stuffs. Rabbits have a single stomach and a well-developed hind gut to allow them to break down plant material. Another feature is that rabbits eat their droppings – this is called coprophagy. The process allows them to extract more nutrients from their food. Calcium & Phosphorus: Calcium should be 0.5 - 1.0% and phosphorus 0.4-0.8%. Equally important is the ratio between the two (which should be 1.5-2:1 calcium to phosphorus).

A sudden change in diet can cause digestive upsets – even when you are changing to a better quality diet. The short answer is no – rabbits are not rodents. Rabbits are lagomorphs, although in the past they were wrongly classified as rodents. Unlike rodents, lagomorphs are herbivorous and should only be fed a plant-based diet. In fact, some researchers have suggested that rabbits have more in common with animals such as cattle or sheep, than with rodents. To help ensure that your rabbit has the healthiest diet possible, we have put together a guide on rabbit requirements and choosing the best food to meet them. Rabbit Diet brands that list grass (e.g. timothy, alfalfa, fescue, hay or 'forage') ahead of cereals (e.g. wheat, oats, corn, or maize). As grass is higherRemember too that a large rabbit requires much more space and therefore you should consider how big their accommodation needs to be so that they can rise up on their hind legs and hop around. That means 4-5 foot in height and around 12 foot long – so around the size of a whole room! Heygates Rabbit Choice Pellets are 3mm pellets that are not only suitable for adult rabbits but also for kittens and nursing mums. It can also be fed to guinea pigs and other small animals. Heygates Rabbit Choice Pellets are very inexpensive, although it does mean buying a 20kg bag: if you have a single rabbit and you feed it 50 grams of food a day, a 20kg bag will last you more than a year.
