When shopping for feed look for 60% or less protein. The I
don't like to feed my rabbits corn as the pellet food the food
should be alfalfa.
When you purchase a bunny you should mix some of the feed
that I use to transition them over to your brand of pellets. You
must mix 1/4 of the feed that we use with 1/4 of the brand of A
rabbits stomach cannot must mix 1/4 of the feed handle an
instant switch to food therefore anytime you change handle an
instant switch to food therefore anytime you change brands you
must mix it 1/4 and 1/4 or you could cause diarrhea feed &
decrease original feed. Stop giving the new feed completely if
there are any signs of diarrhea and feed only hay and water
until droppings return to normal. Adding yogurt or Bene-Bacto
the feed bowl or on the tip of the water bottle will hep the
rabbit's gut get back to it's normal bacteria percentage. You
can also add Pedialyte in the rabbit's water will help keep
him/her hydrated. If your bunny gets diarrhea this is very
serious and could kill your bunny quickly so please watch
closely! Once your bunny's droppings have turned back to
normal you can then reintroduce the mixed feed very gradually.
The grape like stool that you may see is called cecal droppings
and are good for the rabbit to eat. Don't confuse cecal
droppings with diarrhea.
