Unlimited Pellets = Bad News

Please do not give your rabbit unlimited pellets.

We have been seeing a huge increase in owners giving their rabbits unlimited pellets. Even if healthy brands, this is not okay.

Rabbits naturally have a diet that is high in fiber, consisting mainly of hay and fresh vegetables. While pellets are a convenient way to provide necessary nutrients and make sure your bunny gets all appropriate nutrients, they should be given in controlled portions.

Unlimited pellets can lead to dental issues due to a decreased appetite for hay, and obesity, digestive issues.

The best diet for adult rabbits under 10 pounds is typically:

- 1/4 cup pellets

- 1.5 cups of fresh greens

- Unlimited hay

Remember, a healthy bunny is a happy bunny and moderation matters. If you want your bunny to live their longest, healthiest life possible, do not give them unlimited pellets - even if you think they’re eating enough hay.
