Bunny Nature KonijnenDroom BASIC is a complete rabbit food with a broad plant base of 63 different plants and herbs from permanent grassland. The food is designed for rabbits that enjoy nibbling, foraging, and eating throughout the day. Thanks to the 3-fiber mix with varying fiber lengths, the food has a natural texture that suits rabbit eating behavior well.

At DRD, when it comes to rabbit food, we focus primarily on fiber, texture, eating behavior, and how easily you can incorporate the food into a clear daily routine. KonijnenDroom BASIC is a great solid foundation alongside unlimited hay, daily fresh vegetables, and clean drinking water. You can offer the food in a bowl, or scatter a small portion to encourage natural foraging.

Why choose KonijnenDroom BASIC?

Rabbits are true grazers and nibblers. They like to eat throughout the day and require a lot of structure in their diet. KonijnenDroom BASIC aligns perfectly with this, featuring permanent grassland, herbs, fiber-rich ingredients, and a coarse structure that encourages leisurely eating.

The 3-fiber mix is an important part of this food. By combining different fiber lengths, your rabbit gets more structure in the food bowl. This makes the mealtime more natural and provides more gnawing opportunities than a smooth, simple pellet.

BASIC is the calm base within the KonijnenDroom line. You can use this variant daily and alternate it with other KonijnenDroom variants such as Vegetables, Flowers, or Herbs. This way, the menu remains familiar, but you can still vary the scent, taste, and experience.

For which animals is this food suitable?

• Rabbit: suitable as a complete daily rabbit food. In addition to unlimited hay, use suitable fresh vegetables and clean drinking water daily.

This food is intended for rabbits. For mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, gerbils, dwarf rats, rats, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and degus, you should preferably choose food specifically formulated for those species.

Feeding & use

Bunny Nature states that KonijnenDroom BASIC can be offered freely. In practice, however, many owners find it helpful to follow a guideline in addition, so that they can easily keep track of appetite, condition, and how much is actually being eaten.

A practical guideline for adult rabbits is approximately 60–80 grams per rabbit per day, depending on size, activity, condition, and how much hay and fresh vegetables are eaten. Hay always remains the most important part of the rabbit's diet.

• Always provide unlimited good quality hay.
• Give fresh vegetables suitable for your rabbit daily.
• Always ensure clean drinking water.
• Divide a measured portion, preferably over two moments per day.
• Switch gradually when changing feed.
• Store the food in a cool, dry, and tightly sealed place.

Daily portion guideline

Use the guideline as a practical starting point. Then take a close look at body condition, activity, hay intake, and what, if anything, is left uneaten.

Switch to KonijnenDroom BASIC

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 BASIC. This allows your rabbits to get used to the new 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 rabbits continue to eat well and have normal droppings.
