Hello rabbit owners! Are you wondering how to choose the right feed for your rabbit? Rabbits have incredibly sensitive digestive systems. Feeding them the wrong diet often causes serious health issues. A balanced diet keeps your bunny happy, active, and soft. It starts with understanding exactly what they need in their bowl.
Hay is the non-negotiable foundation. It should make up about 80% of your rabbit’s daily intake. The tough fiber keeps their gut moving properly and wears down their constantly growing teeth. However, hay alone often leaves nutritional gaps. This is where high-quality pellets come in.
Choosing the right pellet can be tricky. Many store brands fill their bags with colorful puffs, seeds, and dried fruit. These look tasty to humans, but they act like junk food for rabbits. Even worse, rabbits will pick out the sugary bits and leave the healthy pellets behind. Always choose a uniform, plain pellet to ensure they get balanced nutrition in every bite.
Look for a pellet high in fiber and low in sugar. At Kissimmee Valley Feed, we proudly stock Kalmbach Feeds. We trust this brand because they prioritize gut health.
