6 best feeds for decorative rabbits
Choosing the best feed for eared friend
Author: Anna Sapelkina, veterinarian
Decorative rabbits often began to appear in city apartments - many people give birth to these funny, intelligent creatures. With good care, they can live up to 8-12 years, and one of the main factors is proper feeding. Rabbits are extremely gentle creatures, so food for them must be chosen very carefully.
Lagomorphic gut is a real fiber processing factory where workers (beneficial microorganisms) break down plant fibers, take nutrients from them and synthesize vitamins. Any failure in this streamlined system threatens the development of constipation, intestinal stasis (when the peristalsis completely stops), flatulence, colic, which can lead to the death of the animal.
Only a balanced diet and feeding regime can protect against such problems. The best feed for decorative rabbits, sold in stores, contain all the essential substances necessary for life, but they must be supplemented with hay and succulent feed. While buying low-quality concentrated feed can lead to problems with digestion and severely undermine the health of the pet.

What is the best food for decorative rabbits?
For the basis of the nutrition of normal healthy animals fit any of the listed complete feed. 2-3 times a day it is necessary to pour the amount of feed specified in the recommendations on the package. If the animal does not finish eating its portion, it should be reduced. At least 20% of the diet should fall on succulent feed. Hay and water should be freely available all the time.
If you have problems with the skin, as well as for old and obese animals, especially those suffering from constipation, grainless mixtures with a high content of fiber are better suited.Foods containing coccidiostats should not be given continuously, sometimes better as a preventive measure, as there is evidence that with constant use they can disrupt the rabbit caecum microflora.
