good food for evony

Question
hi. I just want to ask about the best daily food for my bunny... his 2 mons old.. what are the best green food for him?


Answer
Hi,

he is very young.

Hay: all the time, timothy hay, orchard grass hay, alfalfa hay.

Pellets: only food pellets without extra crap in them - no nuts, seeds, corn - just pellets.  Oxbow is an excellent brand with good amounts of minerals.  As he is young you can give both alfalfa and timothy food pellets.  Give 1/4 to 1/2 cup per day (total).

No greens, no fruits, no veggies.  Nothing high carb/high sugar.  His gi tract is not set up yet to deal with this right and you can potentially cause a condition that can kill him.

For treats, give a 1/4 chunk of a hay cube (from a pet supply store).  You can also give him wicker chew balls, wicker tents, etc, from a pet supply store and he will probably enjoy eating this.

I recommend picking up the books I mention in my profile info, and spending time on the House Rabbit Society web site.  www.rabbit.org

They have excellent articles on nutrition.  Also on how to find a good rabbit vet where you live (not all vets are good rabbit vets).
