* Hay (80% of diet): Timothy hay is the best choice for adult rabbits, offering essential fiber for digestion and preventing health issues like hairballs and obesity.
* Pellets (10-15% of diet): High-quality rabbit pellets should be formulated for adults and not contain added sugars or fillers.
* Fresh greens (5-10% of diet): Offer a variety of leafy greens like romaine lettuce, kale, parsley, spinach, and cilantro. Avoid iceberg lettuce as it offers little nutritional value.
* Treats (in moderation): Occasional treats like small pieces of fruit (apple, banana, strawberry) or a few pellets of commercial rabbit treats are fine, but should be given sparingly.
Important Considerations:
* Avoid sugary treats: Chocolate, candy, and processed foods are harmful to rabbits.
* Fresh water: Always provide fresh, clean water in a heavy bowl or sipper bottle.
* Avoid toxic foods: Some foods are toxic to rabbits, such as onions, garlic, potatoes, and rhubarb.
* Consult a veterinarian: A veterinarian can provide personalized dietary advice for your rabbit based on age, breed, and health status.
Remember, a well-balanced diet is crucial for your rabbit's health and well-being.
