Anybody nurture their rabbit a pellet free diet?
I'm thinking I'm gonna take Bill completely off pellets.
I'm not bullish with any of them, and I'm starting to regard them as "treats" and not food.
Right now he get about a tablespoon of pellets in the morning and at dark, but I'm thinking of cutting that completely. Anyone on here have any experience with that?
If you do nurture pellets what brand do you feed?
Why do you want to do that? What are you going toi make him eat? Just give him/her the pellet and stick to keeping fruit as treats. I put some pellets in my rabbits bowl and leave some hay at the side so he can choose what he requests to eat. A rabbit will eat as much as he/she needs and you requirement to give them a variety of foods that are suitable for them. Don't cut out that food completly.
My three mini lops receive unlimited access to timothy hay, unlimited access to pellets, and the very singular treats. I'm located in the USA, and feed the best pellets I can find locally, which are Manna Pro rabbit foods. There are three types of pellets to pick from. I personally prefer the show formula, but the pro formula is just as suitable, and if you get the show supplement, you can supplement their food with it and its close to the show formula, and like in my case, is probably cheaper than tracking down the show formula.
I wouldn't recommend going to a diet minus pellets. If you do, then you need to do research to find out what foods you can pass that will give the same nutrition that the pellets make a contribution. Also, fruits and other treats with carbohydrates should be feed sparingly, as they are treats.
Also, it came to intellect that you might view the pellets as treats because your feeding them to him approaching they are a treat.
Once a rabbit is done wrong, it may hold a lifetime grudge.
Poor Bunny. Feed him with something resembling russel Rabbit (mine each have a rabbit bowl full every day) & then afford him toast or swede/carrots (good for the teeth). I currently have two little critters. They love straw, swede, carrots, broccoli, cabbage, toast. They also get treats

Answers: A pellet free diet is fine. Pellets were originally given to rabbits to fatten them up briskly for slaughter! Being fat is not healthy for anybody. Cut them out slowly and give unlimited timothy hay, lots of veggies, restricted amounts of fruit. My rabbit vet told me to start getting rid of the pellets. If you must give pellets, use oxbow timothy or nature promise. do not use any pellet with alfalfa and avoid alfalfa hay.
