The Rabbit Food Pyramid Explained


Share |

Rabbit Food NO-NO’S (foods that never should be given to pet rabbits)

  • No Chocolate (poisonous!)
  • Cookies
  • Crackers
  • Breakfast Cereal
  • Yogurt Drops
  • Pasta
  • Bread
  • Most “human” treats

At the bottom of the rabbit food pyramid is hay.  Choices for hay include Timothy hay, Orchard Grass, Oat Hay and Brome. Only very small amounts of Alfalfa should be given. Hap is the staple of your rabbit’s diet.

The next layer of the pyramid is vegetables. Give your pet rabbit a variety of fresh greens, daily. Cabbage, carrots, lettuces and broccoli.

The next layer of the pyramid is pellets. Limited high quality pellets with no seeds or dried fruits should be given as directed by your vet.

Finally, on top of the pyramid in small quantities are treats. Give treats one or two times per week. Treats include fresh fruits.

As with all information that you find on the internet, consult with your own veterinarian for information specific to your pet.
