* Choose a pellet with a low fat content and high fiber content.
Fresh Water:
* Rabbits need access to clean, fresh water at all times.
Treats (in moderation):
* Occasional treats can be given, but should not exceed 10% of their daily caloric intake.
* Good options include small amounts of fruit (bananas, strawberries), herbs (basil, dill), or commercial rabbit treats.
