rabbit mad
Warren Scout
Hello All,
I wonder if any one can help.
I recently got myself a baby giant rabbit, when I got him from his breeder she gave me some of his food and stated clearly that she feeds all off her rabbits on this food regardless of their age it is called ASC Rabbit pellet food with extrra multi vitamins in it...
I transferred my current rabbits onto this as well as it is easier for the rabbit sitter to feed them, all my rabbits seem o.k. in themselves and my cousion has a rabbit who was bought four weeks after my giant from the same breeder, and uses the same food as myself. my cousion took her rabbit to the vet for its check up (she was devostated when she lost her last rabbit and then her vet told her that she could have prevented it... ) she is now very pretective of this rabbit, the vet asked what the rabbit was eating when my cousion told the vet he very sternly stated that the rabbit should not be fed on pellets but only should be fed on them as a treat, and needs more of a combination food, along with lots of fresh vegetables and 50% off his diet to be hay, due to the rabbits digestive system not been able to cope, he basically said that when the rabbits eat it comes straight out of the other end....
Now thinking about it all my three do poo rather a lot, I have especially noticed this in the older rabbits that I switched food with.
I am now very confussed about what to feed my rabbits, could someone else let me know what the you feed your rabbits on and should I stop the pellets and increase more of a combination food along with extra vegetable, if so what vegetables should I feed them on, and what food do you lot buy.
I am so sorry that I have gone on, but I am not very good at explaining things.
I hope someone can help, obviously I am very sensible and if I thought my rabbits had any health issues they would be took to the vet quicker then you can say "boo"
Many Thanks
Kelly
