What you need to know
Many rabbit illnesses are the result of an inadequate diet, including digestive disorders and serious dental problems that can require extensive surgery. That's why it's essential to provide rabbits with a varied diet.
The seed mixes that rabbits love are unfortunately not complete, and tend to cause digestive imbalances that are harmful to your rabbit's health, as do sugary treats. It's best to choose complete pellets (around 25g per day for a 1kg rabbit), but above all hay, which should be fed as much as your rabbit likes. The hay must be of good quality so that the rabbit consumes as much as possible. Hay enables the rabbit to chew for a long time, thus wearing down its teeth, which grow continuously. Its high fiber content makes it indispensable for good digestive function. Crunching hard bread is of no interest for tooth wear, and can cause digestive fermentation problems. Fresh vegetables (carrots, radishes, turnips, endives, fennel, parsley, broccoli) provide vitamins and minerals. They should be fed to rabbits at room temperature and in reasonable quantities. Water, of course, should be changed regularly.
Take any change in food intake or loss of appetite seriously, and ask us for advice.
