Bunny Basics: All about Food

Saturday, November 21, 2009

The most important part of a bunny’s life is its diet. This may sound simple, but it actually requires a deep understanding of the different types of food in order to ensure that you can provide your bunny with a well-balanced diet.

Now that I have said it, you might be asking, “What are the different types of bunny food?” Generally, bunny food includes hay, pellets, vegetables, and bunny treats. Speaking of which, bunny treats refer to fresh fruits, bunny biscuits and jellies.

A useful guide for bunny food is illustrated in the Food Pyramid.

On top of the above-mentioned, how can you incorporate both food and entertainment to bunnies at the same time? Well, this can be done by using simple toys to contain the food. An example of this is ‘Roll in Hay’. As seen from the blog post, the owner had actually used simple toilet rolls to contain the hay. By doing so, bunnies can actually enjoy eating the hay and rolling it as a toy at the same time. Being low-cost and effective, I feel that this is a really good idea and i should try it on my bunnies too!

Love, joy and bunnies!
