Rabbit Safe Diet

Always talk to your exotic veterinarian about what is best for your rabbit

A Daily Rabbit Diet Should Always Include:

Unlimited timothy hay &/or orchard grass

Unlimited fresh water - preferably in a heavy bowl

Limited pellets - approximately 1/8 cup per 5lbs rabbit. Look for timothy-based pellets that are at least 18% fiber. We feed & recommend Oxbow.

Fresh veggies - see list below
