What are rabbit pellets?

Answer 1

Mostly ground hay and vitamins, but if you look at most petshop-sold pellets you will also see corn, sunflower seeds, baked treats from wheat flour and ground veggies and other industry-modified ingredients. Always consult the ingredient list on packages to make sure there is not too much added components to the hay/vitamins : your rabbit will be healthier and as such, happier!

Answer 2

The phrase "rabbit pellet" is used for two things: food, and the rabbit's excretion (feces - what comes out).

Rabbit pellets (food) are a compact food supplement: processed and dried ingredients that are shaped and hardened into a small pellet. Sometimes it's called "kibble" or "feed."

Rabbit Diet: Pellets are a good way to make sure your rabbit is getting the right balance of nutrients and vitamins. Pellets are high in fats and protein, though, and too many can lead to illness (like GI stasis in the short-term, or obesity in the long-term). Pellets are one part of a rabbit's diet, but the bunny should also eat lots and lots of hay, also some leafy greens and, of course, water. Optional treats can include non-leafy vegetables and fruit.

Answer 3

Rabbit pellets are a type of compressed food specifically formulated for rabbits. They usually consist of a mixture of hay, grains, vitamins, and minerals to provide a balanced diet for rabbits. Pellets should be fed in moderation along with fresh hay and vegetables to ensure a well-rounded diet for your rabbit.
