Rabbit's Diet

1. HAY

A very essential part of their diet and has to be accessible 24hrs. a day. This prevents their teeth from growing long and keep them from boredom. 


2. WATER 

Water is very important too, always make it a point to give them fresh water everyday. A little tip for summer season is to add ice cubes to keep them cool.


3. PELLETS

I know some people who doesn't include this on their diet but I take this as their treat and limit on giving them 4 tablespoon a day


3. FRESH VEGETABLES

A common misconception here in the Philippines is that it's right to feed their rabbits "KANGKONG/WATER SPINACH" everyday but this isn't true, vegetables should be given in limited amounts and also needs to be taken as a treat for rabbits. Here is a list of fruits & vegetables that can be fed to our precious buns.



4. TREATS 

This is not necessary but I just love my buns so much. This is a DIY treat that I made, you can check the recipe in here and give it a try, I promise your buns will go crazy for it. Should only be given once every 2  days.

Where do I get rabbit pellets and hay in the Philippines? | Updated

I have been asked on Instagram where I get my pellets, so here's a detailed answer post. My bunnies at this time where still under 6 months so I give them pellets that has Alfa Alfa, when I have the time to go to Manila, I get them Jolly Fullvit Pellets from Pet Galore in Cartimar or if i'm busy I buy online from Pet's Corner. I know many online sellers but Pet's Corner offers the cheapest price plus they are very accommodating.


I also found Furry Friend's while strolling around Cartimar, it is sold per kilo about Php 70.00+ I opted to this for a while and repacked them myself, until I change their diet to timothy pellets.


I have tried Choppy Timothy Hay, which was okay but very expensive for me. I have also tried Versele Laga's Natural Hay, it's cheaper but the smell of it annoyed me, both of them you can find at Cartimar. Also tried Small Pet Select, very good quality of Timothy hay but it's not available in the Philippines, I got a 5lbs. box from Singapore and I don't think i'd be able to get another box soon. 


If you want to buy hay in bulks you can also check out The Princess Club. I haven't ordered from them but heard good reliable reviews, so I say go check it out to save your wallets from commercial hay products! But for now I opted for Chipsi Meadow Hay which I also got from Pet's Corner. It's only 450 for 4 Kilo plus the quality is nice for the price.
