How do rabbits eat?

Answer 1

Rabbits eat by using the two front teeth to bite the pellets into little pieces, then they swallow it. It is as simple as that! You will even hear them crunching it. That's what my rabbit does anyway.

Rabbits have several molars in addition to their front teeth. That's why they need to go to a vet so they can check the back teeth and make sure they're not growing.

In the wild, rabbits forage (search) for food in what can be described as a 'browse and graze' manner. They eat grasses, leaves, flower buds, twigs, and (tender) bark from trees and plants.

Answer 2

This is a sign your bunny is sick, it could be any number of things, although the most common problem would be GI based. You need to take your bunny to the vet urgently! Once a bunny's GI tract shuts down, your bunny won't survive very long. It's urgent that you seek immediate medical attention. Stop researching on the internet now and call your vet. Internet research can never replace the advice of a vet who has examined your animal.

Find yourself a vet that knows how to treat rabbits while your bun is healthy so that you know he's in good hands when he becomes ill.

Answer 3

Providing water at all times is essential to your bun's health and well being. There are many ways in which to provide your bun with water. Water bottles specially designed for rabbits are the best bet, but if your bun doesn't take to the bottle's nipple, try a dish of water. You'll want to make sure the dish is a heavy crock design or something not easily tipped. Rabbits need fresh water at all times (they drink a lot of it!) so finding your bun's favorite way to drink will keep him happy and healthy.

Answer 4

it matters if you your rabbit is a baby because if its a baby their mother will feed them until they get old enough to feed them selves or if your rabbit is an adult they eat nuts and veggies and if their not eating that means that their sick or do not like the food you are feeding it.
