Outside, animal proof cages, if necessary.
Our bunnies are raised indoors and are about 90% litter box trained by the time they transition into their new homes. We feed alfalfa cubes to both our young and adult rabbits, and our pellet mix consists of KalmBach pellets blended with black oil sunflower seeds—approximately 95% pellets and 5% BOSS.A healthy rabbit starts with a simple, consistent diet.
Each bunny should receive approximately ¼ cup of quality pellets daily, along with unlimited access to fresh hay. Hay is the foundation of a rabbit’s diet and should always be available 24/7 to support healthy digestion and dental health.
Many families ask about the difference between loose hay and hay cubes. Nutritionally, they are the same, hay cubes are simply compressed hay. In our nursery and weaning pens, we prefer hay cubes because they stay cleaner, create less mess, and reduce waste when raising babies. If you choose to feed traditional loose hay at home, your bunny will transition beautifully without any issues.
Our preferred hay choice is orchard grass hay, which is both palatable and gentle on sensitive digestive systems.
While it can be tempting to spoil a new bunny with treats and vegetables, we strongly recommend waiting until at least 6 months of age before introducing them. A young rabbit’s digestive system is incredibly delicate, and too many treats or introducing them too soon, can lead to serious digestive upset, risking death. Once your bunny is mature, treats and vegetables should still be offered only in moderation.
One of the greatest gifts you can give your rabbit is consistency. Fresh water, unlimited hay, a measured amount of pellets, and lots of love will help your bunny thrive for years to come.
