Meet Spots!

Meet Spots! He currently resides at the Burrow (Bunny Bunch Headquarters) and is looking for his forever home where his family will love and play with him.

A rabbit's diet is very important. Many people tend to feed too many pellets to their rabbit, do not offer enough hay, or give them store bought treats that can be very harmful. Unfortunately, there are a lot of unhealthy items out there that are made for rabbits and marketed towards their humans, making the treats and pellets look like candy. The bad thing is that these items are often full of sugar, which can cause health problems in rabbits and can even be deadly.

Hay plays an extremely important part in a rabbit's diet and should be provided at all times.

It is very important that you have a good reliable source for getting hay for your rabbits.

Hay should be fed unlimited (meaning as much as they want) on a daily basis. At The Burrow we pile litter boxes full, every morning and evening so our buns will get as much as they need. Make sure your rabbit is eating lots of hay! If you are overfeeding pellets, your rabbit will not eat as much hay, so make sure you limit pellets to once a day (1/4 cup per rabbit).

Why hay? Rabbits need fiber to keep their GI tract healthy. Hay plays a very important role in keeping the intestinal tract moving. Rabbits (unlike cats) can not vomit, so everything must pass through their GI tract.

Types of Hay
♦Timothy: This is great hay to be fed unlimited on a daily basis. Lots of nice stems with great color and smell.

♦3-Way Hay: This is a blend of oat, wheat, and barley. Buns love it!

♦Oat hay: Bunnies love the seed heads.

♦Orchard: This is a softer, finer hay that rabbits enjoy. Given as a treat.

♦Alfalfa This hay is for young rabbits only (1 month-6 months) because it contains a lot of calcium for strong bones and teeth. Do not feed your adult rabbits alfalfa hay.

How to store hay cool, dark, dry locations. Make sure the hay can 'breath' so no mold can form from condensation. No air tight containers. If in a plastic bag, just leave the top open a bit. If you go through your hay pretty quickly, (which most of us do) you can store it in a hay bin with a loose lid. Or, you may want to store it in a large cardboard box. If your hay is in a plastic bag, do not seal the bag; leave the top open. If you have cats, make sure they do not have access to the stored hay, as they often like to use it as a litter box.
