Feeding

Feeding properly is extremely important as many of the problems we see as vets originate with the way that they have been fed.  After water, good quality hay is the most important part of a rabbit’s diet.  Though some choose not to eat certain types of hay we have found that even the fussiest eaters like Western Timothy which is why we promote its use and always have some in stock.  The dry food should only be fed in small amounts and be a well-balanced product that prevents selective eating such as Burgess Rabbit Excel. 

All rabbits regularly require good quantities of fresh food such as grass, carrot and swede, but apple and other fruits should not be fed in large amounts. If your rabbit is not used to eating fresh foods the staff at Evolution Vets will be happy to give you advice on how to best introduce it.
