Burns Rabbit food

Where did it say that?! :lol: I dont see that.

Think they are basically saying rabbits dont need dry food,from reading this off the site
You feed that with hay and veggies


It is possible to feed your pet rabbit on a diet with high quality fresh hay (available 24 hrs), vehetables, fresh wild plants and herbs, without the need for any dried cereals, pellets or flaked diets. This is especially true for house rabbits (rabbits kept outdoors may benefit fromminimal use of dried cereals especially in winter when it is colder and they are expending more energy.

Sorry, you posted while I was writing that last response :oops:

As I'm still in the bunny research stage I'd be very interested to hear what you all think about this. I'm still not entirely clear on what a rabbit should be fed and how often :?

Yep :)
 
I'm not convinced.. Rabbits can do well on a hay & veggie diet but they need a wide variety of veggies to get the full vitamin/mineral requirements. Those bags are only 100g each so you're obviously not intended to feed much per day plus there isn't that wide a variety of plants in them and I thought dry stuff had less vitamins?

I don't think they'd give you any benefit of straight hay & veggies.

Also with house rabbit there is the issue of vitamin D which outdoor rabbits would get from sunlight but inndoor rabbit get from pellets.
