Product Information

You should never switch a rabbits food for a clean swap one day to the other. To introduce a new food, mix a slight bit in with their current and gradually increase the ration until they are happily eating the new food. Not all rabbits will eat the same thing, just as how humans, dogs, cats and other animals all have different tastes. If you’re at all unsure about the best way of feeding your animal or have any concerns about specific nutritional requirements at different times of their life, ask your local veterinary practice for advice. The second most prominent part of their diet should be fresh greens and vegetables. “Leafy greens are all great,” explained one long-time rabbit owner we spoke to. “Things like fruits and even carrots are good but only in moderation, and avoid anything with seeds or pits.”

This makes up most of your rabbits diet. They should eat a ball of hay the same size as themselves every single day, which will be around 80% of their daily diet intake. Feeding hay with hedgerow herbs: including dandelion, chamomile, nettle and mallow flowers – for a fabulous foraging experienceFresh Greens: Can be fed as a treat to add variety and provide additional nutrition. Special care must be taken, however, as some greens – such as savoy cabbage and spinach – should only be fed occasionally, and some not at all. The best way to ensure your rabbits get all the nutrition and fibre they need is by following the 5-step Excel Feeding Plan, developed in conjunction with one of the world’s leading small-animal vets.

A rabbit diet is quite complex. While you can provide a cat or dog with all of its nutritional requirements from a single source, this isn’t possible with rabbits. They need a variety of food types, not only ensuring that they get the right amount of protein and fibre in their diet but also ensuring that they get all essential vitamins and minerals. A rabbit’s diet can also affect things like dental health, weight, and digestive health. If you’ve got some golden oldies, your senior rabbits could benefit from tasty nuggets designed just for them, with added extras such as glucosamine for ageing joints, for example. If you have rabbits that are prone to weight gain, ingredients like L-carnitine can help to promote lean body mass. Excel Burgess Nuggets With Mint Adult Rabbit Food is a grass pellet-based food that is fortified with vitamins and minerals and with added mint for extra appeal. Beneficial Fibre- a measure of the digestible and indigestible fibre that's essential in your rabbits' diet.

Each day, slightly reduce their old food and replace it with some of the new. At the end of the transition period, your rabbits should be eating their new rabbit nuggets happily with no issues!
