1. Staple food choice

The main food of a pet rabbit should be high-quality hay, especially Timothy grass or pasture. Not only does this hay provide essential fiber to aid digestion, but it also aids in teeth grinding.

2. Intake of vegetables and fruits

Fresh vegetables and fruits can be used as supplementary food for pet rabbits, but the portion size should be controlled to avoid indigestion.

Vegetables suitable for rabbits include carrot top leaves, broccoli leaves, kale, etc., while fruits can choose apple slices and strawberries, but the amount needs to be strictly controlled because fruits are high in sugar.

3. Water intake

Pet rabbits need to be able to drink fresh, clean water at all times. It is best to use a rabbit-specific drinker, keep the water clean, and change the water source every day to avoid bacterial growth.

4. Moderate intake of rabbit food

High-quality rabbit food can be used as a supplement to the diet, but not in excess, providing only a few tablespoons per day. When choosing rabbit food, you should choose products that are high in fiber and low in protein, and avoid feeds that contain too much grain or sugar.

5. Avoid foods

Hard-to-digest foods such as corn, peas, legumes, nuts, and seeds should be avoided. At the same time, chocolate, coffee, and alcohol are highly toxic to rabbits, and sugary snacks and processed foods are not beneficial to rabbits’ health.
