KonijnenDroom YOUNG natural rabbit food – a healthy start for young rabbits

Bunny Nature KonijnenDroom YOUNG junior rabbit food

Bunny Nature KonijnenDroom YOUNG is a complete junior food for young rabbits and young dwarf rabbits up to approximately 6 months of age. During this growth phase, bones, muscles, teeth, and the digestive system develop rapidly. Therefore, a food with sufficient structure, fiber, and a clear composition is especially important.

At DRD, when it comes to junior rabbit food, we focus primarily on growth, fiber, chewing behavior, hay intake, and practical feed reliability. KonijnenDroom YOUNG combines 63 plants, grasses, and herbs from untreated meadows with a coarse texture and the 3-Fiber Mix. This makes this food a great daily foundation alongside unlimited hay, clean drinking water, and appropriate fresh food.

Why choose KonijnenDroom YOUNG?

Young rabbits grow rapidly. During this phase, the body needs building blocks, while the digestive system simultaneously needs to continue adapting to fiber-rich food. KonijnenDroom YOUNG has been developed for this junior phase and combines a broad plant base with a coarse texture that suits the natural eating behavior of rabbits.

The 3-Fiber Mix contains different fiber lengths. This makes the food structure-oriented and aligns well with chewing, nibbling, and frequent small mealtimes. Hay always remains the foundation, but a suitable complete junior food helps to establish a clearer daily routine.

The composition with 63 plants, grasses, and herbs gives this food a distinct Bunny Nature signature. For owners, this feels good: you are not feeding a plain kibble, but a natural junior food with variety, texture, and a clear role in the daily menu.

For which animals is this food suitable?

• Rabbit: suitable for young rabbits and young dwarf rabbits up to approximately 6 months. Use KonijnenDroom YOUNG as a complete junior food alongside unlimited hay, clean drinking water, and appropriate fresh food.

From approximately 6 months, you can gradually switch to an adult variant within the KonijnenDroom line. This ensures the food remains aligned with your rabbit's life stage.

Feeding & use

Bunny Nature operates with a free-offer philosophy: fill the food bowl and only refill it when it is empty. This aligns with the idea that rabbits have multiple small mealtimes. Additionally, many owners appreciate having a practical guideline, for example, to monitor growth, appetite, and condition. Therefore, we also provide a calculation tool below as a reference.

• Provide unlimited good quality hay daily.
• Provide clean drinking water daily.
• Offer KonijnenDroom YOUNG as a complete junior food during the growth phase.
• You can offer freely according to the Bunny Nature method or weigh consumption for extra insight.
• When switching feed, transition gradually by temporarily mixing the old and new feed.
• Check growth, appetite, droppings, hay intake, and body condition regularly.

A good daily routine is clear: unlimited hay as a base, KonijnenDroom YOUNG as junior food, clean drinking water, and fresh food introduced gradually. This provides your young rabbit with structure, fiber, and plenty of opportunities to chew.

Practical daily portion guideline

Because KonijnenDroom YOUNG can be fed freely, actual consumption varies per rabbit. Furthermore, young rabbits do not all grow at the same rate. Therefore, use the table below as a practical calculation example, not as a strict limit.

This guideline primarily helps to estimate the consumption of the bag. Hay always remains the primary factor. A young rabbit that is growing well, eats plenty of hay, has normal droppings, and is lively usually settles comfortably into the routine.

Compound

Planting of permanent grassland with, among others, timothy, fescue, red fescue, greater foxtail, meadow fescue, cocksfoot, cow parsley, rough dandelion, meadow pea, common yarrow, lady's mantle, sweet vernal grass, creeping clover, narrow-leaved plantain, meadow sage, burnet, parsley, chamomile, and chicoreinulin.

This composition is built around plants, grasses, and herbs from permanent grassland. This suits young rabbits well, as they benefit from fiber-rich, structured food during their growth phase. Ingredients such as timothy, fescue, dandelion, narrow-leaved plantain, parsley, and chamomile provide plant-based variety, while chicoreinulin fits into the composition as a prebiotic fiber. Together, this forms a natural junior food that complements unlimited hay well.

Analysis

Crude protein 14%, crude fat 2.7%, crude fiber 20%, crude ash 8.5%, starch 5.7%, calcium 0.9%, phosphorus 0.5%, sodium 0.2%.

Additives per kg: vitamin A 12,000 IU, vitamin D3 840 IU, copper 7.2 mg, iodine 1.08 mg, zinc 72 mg.

This analysis is consistent with a high-fiber complete junior food for young rabbits. The 20% crude fiber aligns well with the role of KonijnenDroom YOUNG as a daily diet alongside unlimited hay. The protein content of 14%, the calcium content of 0.9%, and the coarse fiber structure are suitable for the growth phase, during which young rabbits should be fed with care. Hay remains the primary source of fiber; the junior food additionally provides a natural and readily usable daily base.

Switch to KonijnenDroom YOUNG

Switch gradually when changing food. Mix the new food with the old food for the first few days and gradually increase the proportion of KonijnenDroom YOUNG. This allows your young rabbit to get used to the smell, taste, and texture.

• Day 1–2: mix a small amount of new food with the old food.
• Days 3–5: feed approximately half old, half new.
• Days 6–7: mainly new food with a small amount of old food remaining.
• Then switch completely when your rabbit continues to eat well and has normal droppings.

During the transition, pay close attention to appetite, hay intake, droppings, and growth. If you notice clear changes, build up more slowly or seek advice from a rabbit-savvy veterinarian.

Good to know

KonijnenDroom YOUNG is intended for young rabbits up to approximately 6 months. After that, you gradually switch to a suitable adult rabbit food. This ensures the food continues to match your rabbit's life stage.

• Store the food in a cool, dry, and tightly sealed place.
• Hay remains the most important source of fiber; rabbit food is part of the total diet.
• Introduce fresh food gradually and appropriately for your rabbit's age and habituation.
• Use snacks as an extra treat, so that the basic diet remains well-eaten.
