If you decide to have a decorative rabbit, then it is very important to study the basic rules for keeping it, and especially the diet of these animals. After all, in order for the pet to be cheerful and healthy, it is necessary to ensure proper nutrition of the decorative rabbit.
These tips will only apply to mature decorative rabbits that live in your apartment. This diet is similar to that of wild rabbits. Such a diet will save your pet from some ailments:
- dental problems;
- problems of the urinary system (due to an excess of calcium);
- excess weight;
- heart problems (so that there are no problems, you need to use food with a fat content of no more than two percent);
- problems of the digestive tract;
- chronic diarrhea.
For an adult rabbit to be healthy, he needs to eat a lot of hay (but this is not necessary), different types of greens throughout the day (small rabbits can be tamed to greens from 3 weeks of age), water that does not contain a lot of calcium.
Once every 2-3 weeks, the animals can be given fruits and berries, but if the rabbit often eats fresh greens, then you can feed the rabbit berries and fruits more often without fear of indigestion.
Raisins can be given 4-5 times a month; for weak and sick rabbits, you can purchase oatmeal without sugar.
It is forbidden to give pets meat products, chocolate, sunflower seeds, fatty, sweet, nuts, flour, dairy products.
