Rabbit Care - Choosing the Proper Diet for your Rabbit

To view the next video in this series click: http://www.monkeysee.com/play/9698 This video will show rabbit care and how to choose the proper diet for a rabbit. As with humans, rabbit diet can easily be the key factor in keeping not only a happy & healthy rabbit, but one that will live longer as well. There are many choices available at stores and vet clinics, but knowing what the contents are of the food you choose will help you make sure that the diet your rabbit receives is correctly aligned with any dietary needs your rabbit might have. Even though your rabbit might prefer some type of foods over another, high sugar and calorie items should be given in moderation.

The clover hay? -Does it have actual clovers? If so, your bunny will die. Clovers cause rabbits to have gas, And since bunnies can not expel gas, then it will cause them to bloat and die : /

@egyptiancow101 OMG. Don't feed any rabbit corn. Or seeds. Or nuts. Or sweets or salty treats. 75% of their daily diet MUST be Timothy Hay. Feed them no more than 1/8 to 1/4 cup timothy hay based kibble per day. Rabbits under 1 year of age can eat Alfalfa hay, but once they are over a year old, they can no longer digest it, and must be fed Timothy hay. Don't feed them any veggies until they are at least 6 mos. old and then start them a ittle at a time on them. Check out co-hrs.org!
