Hay is the base – rabbit food is the supplement

Rabbits are herbivores that naturally eat small amounts of fiber-rich food throughout the day. Therefore, the following always applies:

Hay (or fresh grass) forms the basis of the diet.
Rabbit food is a supplement.

Good rabbit food supplements the diet with essential nutrients, but never replaces hay. That's why we select foods that support hay intake rather than displacing it.

Tip: always combine with unlimited hay and fresh water.

Which rabbit food is right for your rabbit?

Not every rabbit has the same needs. Age, weight, activity level, and sensitivities all play a role. That's why at DRD Rodent Shop® you'll find various types of rabbit food, including:

• Complete chunks (pellets)
  For a balanced diet where every bite has the same composition.
• Extruded rabbit food
  Extra uniform in structure, often suitable for rabbits that eat selectively.
• Herb-rich mixtures
  Ideal for variation and enrichment, as part of a balanced menu.
• Specific variants
  Such as food for young rabbits, senior rabbits or rabbits with special needs.

Are you unsure about which type to choose? This quick guide will help:

• Do you want to prevent your rabbit from selective eating?
  Choose complete kibble or extruded food.
• Do you want extra variety besides hay?
  Choose a suitable herb mix as a supplement.
• Does your rabbit have a sensitive digestion?
  Go for a clear composition with lots of fiber and without unnecessary sugars.

What should you look for in good rabbit food?

Good rabbit food can be recognised by a number of important features:

• High fibre content (20 - 30%) – supports natural eating and chewing behaviour
• Limited amount of starch and sugars
• Appropriate calcium ratio
• Clear, natural ingredients

We assess all our rabbit food based on these criteria. Therefore, not every brand is included in our range. This way, you can be sure you're choosing food that meets your rabbit's well-being.

How much rabbit food do you give per day?

The right amount of rabbit food depends on the type of food, your rabbit's body weight, and its condition. In general, the following applies:

• give small daily portions
• make sure that hay always remains the main component
• follow the directions on the packaging
• monitor your rabbit's weight and behavior

A rabbit that eats well, is active and continues to nibble on plenty of hay is usually doing well.

Frequently asked questions about rabbit food

What is better: mixed rabbit food or chunks?

Chunks and extruded food provide a consistent composition in each bite. Rabbits can be selective with mixed food. The best choice depends on your rabbit and how you compose the overall diet.

Is rabbit food a substitute for hay?

No. Hay is always the foundation of the diet. Rabbit food is a supplement.

Can I give the same rabbit food to young and older rabbits?

Not always. Young, pregnant, or older rabbits may have different dietary needs. Therefore, choose a variety that suits your rabbit's life stage.

How do I recognize less suitable rabbit food?

Often with too many energy-rich ingredients, unclear composition, or low fiber content. Instead, choose fiber-rich, clear, and natural options.
