A carelessly chosen diet can cause irreparable harm to the health of a small fluffy pet. Therefore, to feed decorative rabbits, it is necessary to carefully select products and monitor the intake of a balanced amount of essential trace elements and vitamins into his body.
Instructions
Step 1
Make sure you have enough hay for your rabbit ahead of time. Buy from the market, or mow the herbs yourself and dry them slightly. In summer, add starwort, yarrow and hogweed to the hay. When buying, ask if the mowed grass has grown by the road, and if the site has not been treated with chemical fertilizers that can harm the rodent.
Step 2
Offer prepared hay to your fluffy pet. This can be done in unlimited quantities at any time of the year. Hay is the main food source for rabbits.
Step 3
Make sure to keep fresh water in the drinking bowl at all times. The rabbit needs plenty of fluids for the digestive system to function properly. Especially a lot of water is required for a nursing rabbit. In the summer, when the rabbit feeds on green succulent grass, the amount of water can be slightly reduced.
Step 4
Invite your rabbit to nibble on slices of raw, peeled vegetables - carrots, beets, cucumbers, etc. These foods can also provide a small amount of liquid.
Step 5
Inquire about the availability of special dry rabbit food available for sale. They contain the amount of vitamins and microelements necessary for the life support of a fluffy pet.
Step 6
Offer a small amount of dry food to your rabbit as a treat. Remember that it is not recommended to feed your bunnies with dry food only, as they are herbivores. With large amounts of feed, the rabbit may completely abandon hay. In addition, overuse of food can lead to obesity in the rabbit, which negatively affects its health.
Step 7
To prevent obesity and problems with the digestive system of rabbits, also exclude muesli, nuts and dried fruits from their diet. These foods are bad for rabbits.
