Rabbit diet

Water

rabbit Rabbits, like all mammals, need water to survive. Although they get some of their water from their diet they also need access to fresh water all of the time. Your rabbit should have a fresh, clean water bottle each day. "Sipper" water bottles can be suspended inside the cage for easy reach. You should clean the water often to keep bacteria from growing inside.

Core diet

Rabbit pellets can be found at most pet stores. Diets containing seeds and nuts are not recommended – these should be given as treats only. Fresh food and hay (timothy, grass, oat, or alfalfa) should be available at all times.

Rabbit Chow or Kibble

Most rabbit kibbles and pellets sold in pet stores are properly balanced in nutrition.

Seeds, Vegetables, and Fruits

Seeds, nuts, and fresh clean vegetables and fruits should be only 10% of your rabbit's diet.

Treats

Rabbits can have a small amount of each of the following: seeds and nuts, fresh clean vegetables and fruits, and fresh hay (alfalfa). Remember, treats should only comprise 10% of your rabbit’s diet.

Supplements and Vitamins

Supplements and vitamins are not necessary for your rabbit.
