Balanced Nutrition for Everyday Rabbit Health

Rabbits are herbivores with specialised digestive systems that depend on a consistent supply of fibre.

Little One Feed for Rabbits combines a selection of meadow grasses, herbs, vegetables and other plant-based ingredients to provide dietary variety and important nutrients.

The formula includes 13.7% protein, 4% fat and 16% fibre, together with essential vitamins and minerals.

Natural FOS prebiotics help nourish beneficial intestinal bacteria and support a balanced digestive environment.

However, rabbit feeding should always prioritise unlimited grass hay. A concentrated mixed feed should be offered in carefully measured portions alongside hay and suitable fresh greens.

Why Fibre Is Essential for Rabbits

Fibre plays a vital role in maintaining normal digestive movement and supporting healthy intestinal function.

Rabbits are hindgut fermenters, meaning that beneficial microorganisms in their digestive tract help process fibrous plant material.

Little One Feed for Rabbits contains 16% crude fibre, contributing additional roughage to the daily feeding programme.

However, concentrated rabbit food cannot replace the long-stem fibre provided by good-quality hay.

For an essential addition to your rabbit’s feeding routine, explore Little One Mountain Hay, available from Keen Pets in plain, camomile and dandelion varieties.

Little One Mountain Hay provides natural long-stem fibre to support digestive health, prolonged chewing and normal dental wear.

Supports Healthy Teeth and Natural Chewing

Rabbit teeth grow continuously throughout their lives, making appropriate chewing activity essential.

Good-quality grass hay encourages the prolonged side-to-side chewing movements required for natural tooth wear.

Although Little One Feed for Rabbits provides different textures, including grass pellets and puffed ingredients, the feed should not be relied upon as the primary source of dental wear.

Always ensure your rabbit has unlimited access to suitable hay.

A diet lacking sufficient long-stem fibre can contribute to dental problems, reduced appetite and digestive complications.

Natural Ingredients and Varied Textures

Rabbits naturally spend much of their time grazing and foraging.

Little One Feed for Rabbits includes grass pellets, vegetable flakes, puffed grains and other ingredients that offer different flavours and textures.

The varied mixture can encourage food exploration and natural feeding behaviour.

However, rabbits may selectively eat their favourite ingredients from mixed feeds.

Monitor your rabbit’s food intake carefully to ensure that it does not consistently leave the more nutritious components behind.

For many rabbits, particularly those prone to selective feeding, a uniform high-fibre rabbit pellet may be a more appropriate choice. Consult a rabbit-experienced veterinarian for individual feeding advice.

Feeding Guidelines for Little One Feed for Rabbits

Manufacturer’s daily feeding recommendation: 40g per kilogram of body weight.

This is the amount specified by Mealberry. It should be considered alongside your rabbit’s hay consumption, body condition, activity level and veterinary feeding advice.

Manufacturer Feeding Guide

Rabbit Weight	Daily Feed Amount
1kg	40g
1.5kg	60g
2kg	80g
2.5kg	100g
3kg	120g
4kg	160g

These quantities are calculated from the manufacturer’s recommendation and are not necessarily appropriate for every rabbit.

Rabbit welfare guidance generally recommends smaller measured quantities of concentrated feed, with hay making up the overwhelming majority of an adult rabbit’s diet.

Recommended Daily Feeding Routine

1. Unlimited grass hay

Provide constant access to fresh, good-quality grass hay. Hay should make up most of the daily diet.

2. Measured rabbit feed

Offer an appropriate portion of Little One Feed for Rabbits according to your rabbit’s individual needs and veterinary guidance.

3. Fresh leafy greens

Provide suitable washed leafy greens and herbs, such as romaine lettuce, coriander, basil and rocket.

4. Fresh drinking water

Clean drinking water must always be available.

5. Gradual food transitions

Introduce any new rabbit food gradually. Dietary changes should generally take place over approximately 2–4 weeks, particularly when changing between mixed feeds and uniform pellets.

6. Monitor appetite and droppings

Check daily that your rabbit is eating hay, producing normal droppings and maintaining a healthy body condition.

Important: A rabbit that stops eating or producing droppings requires urgent veterinary attention.

Digestive Support and Rabbit Wellbeing

Maintaining healthy digestion requires a suitable diet, regular fibre intake, clean drinking water and a consistent feeding routine.

For rabbits requiring additional digestive support under veterinary supervision, Keen Pets stocks Protexin Soluble, a multi-strain probiotic supplement for animals.

Always consult a veterinarian before giving digestive supplements to rabbits, particularly when appetite loss, diarrhoea or abnormal droppings are present.

Supplements should never delay veterinary treatment for suspected gastrointestinal stasis.

Creating a Healthy Rabbit Environment

Alongside proper nutrition, rabbits need sufficient living space, regular exercise, clean housing and opportunities to express natural behaviour.

Provide safe hiding places, appropriate bedding and areas where your rabbit can forage and explore.

Rabbits also benefit from opportunities to dig, chew safe materials and interact with compatible companions.

Regularly clean food bowls, water containers and soiled enclosure areas.

For cleaning suitable animal enclosures and equipment, explore F10 SC Vet Disinfectant, available from Keen Pets.

Always follow the manufacturer’s dilution and application instructions, remove animals before cleaning and allow surfaces to dry before returning them.
