Product Information

Some of the rewarding behaviours that rabbits can show, including being responsive to the presence of their owners and showing joy – the jumps that happy rabbits make are called binkies. Rabbits also play, burrow and make nests with their bedding material. Their coats are soft to the touch and in the main, they are very gentle pets when correctly handled. Rabbits should always be kept in pairs as the companionship of their own species is very important to them.

A typical adult rabbit weighing 2.5kg, requires approximately 60-70g per day of Supreme Science Selective Rabbit food. Selective can be fed as desired, however weight and wellbeing should be monitored regularly. Before and after opening, store in a cool dry place. Fresh hay and water should always be available.

Indoor rabbits have different requirements from outdoor rabbits. In particular, they tend to have less room to exercise and run around. Indoor rabbits are not exposed to sunlight on a regular basis, either, which means that they will need to get vitamin D from a different source: typically, their food. Excel Burgess Indoor Rabbit Nuggets are formulated for the needs of indoor rabbits. Oxbow Essentials Adult Rabbit Food is an expensive food, but it does use Timothy grass meal as its main ingredient. You will still need to feed hay as your rabbit’s primary source of food, but the inclusion of Timothy hay in the food gives these pellets 25% fibre and 14% protein, both of which are considered ideal for adult pet rabbits. It also has 2% fat, which is lower than a lot of other commercial rabbit foods and is also considered a good level. Try to vary what you feed and avoid only feeding a single source of vegetables. This will help keep your rabbit’s interest and prevent him from getting bored with the food you’re offering. Is Meadow or Timothy Hay Better for Rabbits?

Since their dentition and gastrointestinal system have developed, wild rabbits primarily consume grass, which has a natural fibre content of 20–25%. Due to the 25% fibre content of Supreme Science Selective, you can feed your rabbits a delightful, high-fibre rabbit food that will naturally keep them in the best possible health. Molasses, syrup, and other sweet substances are used in a lot of rabbit food recipes. Bingeing and being overweight are risks associated with the additional sugar in a rabbit"s diet. Dental issues can result from it as well. 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. All our delivery services operate within the current COVID guidelines for your safety.

The grass is harvested so that the long stems remain intact, ensuring that none of the important nutrients gets lost in the harvesting process. It also comes from the first cut of the year, resulting in the strongest and tastiest grass. The hay goes through a special process to guarantee top quality. It’s spread in the field six times over three days to help retain nutrients. Intended to be a complementary pairing to rabbits’ fresh hay diet, this nugget food helps provide necessary nutrients. Designed to prevent selective feeding, these nuggets ensure your rabbits eat everything they need, not just the sugary or starchy pieces. Timothy hay is dried Timothy grass. It is considered suitable for all rabbits, and it offers them the nutritional values that they require. Meadow hay is a more generic hay that might include some Timothy grass but will usually consist of several different types of grass. As such, it is difficult to know the exact protein and fibre content. Feeding meadow hay means that you might not be providing the diet that your rabbit requires. Most commercially available hay is Timothy hay, and if the type of hay is unspecified, it is likely to be meadow grass hay. ConclusionDepending on the country you live in, vaccinations may be recommended for your rabbit. In the UK, the vaccinations that may be recommended by your vet include vaccines against myxomatosis and two strains of rabbit viral haemorrhagic disease (RVHD and RVHD2). The vaccines can be given from around 5 weeks of age and immunity lasts about a year, when the vaccine should be repeated. Supreme Science Selective Adult Rabbit Food is slightly pricey pellet-based food, but it is high in fibre (25%) and has good protein (14%) and fat (4%) levels. If your vet has recommended that your rabbit be put on a high-fibre diet, this is a good choice. Alternatively, if your rabbit suffers from constipation, a high-fibre food like this can help, and because fibre makes your rabbit feel fuller for longer, without necessarily adding more calories to their diet, it can help manage weight. 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

In the wild, rabbits forage on grass, leaves, shoots, and whatever vegetation and crops are available to them. When keeping pet rabbits, we need to try and emulate this diet.This rabbit food can help improve rabbits’ metabolism and strengthen their overall immunity. It works well as a daily supplement to a regular diet of hay and fresh greens, helping your pets achieve optimal digestive and dental health. Junior rabbits need a little more protein and calcium in their diet, and as long as the food you offer meets these requirements, you can feed junior or adult food. However, junior food is usually formulated with higher protein levels and fortified with additional calcium. Pellets may also be a little smaller and easier to chew. Dwarf rabbits have a similar dietary requirement to young junior rabbits. Changing Food In terms of nutritional requirements, the food has 17% protein, which is slightly higher than recommended for pet rabbits, but this shouldn’t cause any problems for a healthy rabbit and makes it suitable for nursing mums. It also contains 16% fibre, which could be a little bit higher to reach recommended levels. 4% fat means that there is no added fat, and is considered a healthy amount.
