What do they eat?
A well-balanced bunny diet is vital for the overall well-being of your bunny. Being herbivores, they flourish on high-fiber hay like Timothy or orchard grass. Integrate fresh greens such as dandelion greens and parsley, keeping pellets to approximately 1/4 cup per 5 pounds of body weight. Treats, like small portions of apple or pear, should be offered in moderation. Adequate hydration is crucial, so ensure a constant supply of fresh water. By monitoring portion sizes and introducing dietary variety, you fulfill their nutritional requirements. This equilibrium in your bunny's diet guarantees not only their immediate happiness but also contributes to their long and healthy life.
