Commercial Pelleted Rabbit Feed

This is the kind of feed bought in bags at a feed store. It usually comes in 10, 25, and 50-pound bags. Rabbits can thrive on a good quality pellet feed, along with clean, fresh water, and need nothing else to live a long, healthy life. Pellets contain everything rabbits need for balanced nutrition.

There are various types of rabbit feeds available, such as those for nursing mothers, growing kits, and juniors. Some pellets are also specially formulated for show rabbits.

Different feeds have varying amounts of protein, fiber, fat, and other nutrients, allowing you to choose pellets based on the rabbit's life stage and needs. Proper storage of pelleted feed is crucial for freshness. Never feed rabbits expired or spoiled pellets.

All pellet feeds generally contain about 85% hay, providing the fiber rabbits need for healthy digestion.
