FAQs
How much should I feed my rabbit?
Feeding guidelines are typically found on the packaging. However, always provide fresh hay and water alongside the nuggets. Monitor your rabbit's weight and adjust the amount of nuggets accordingly. Consult your vet for tailored advice.
Can I feed this to adult rabbits?
This product is formulated for junior and dwarf rabbits. While it might be safe for adult rabbits, it may not meet their specific nutritional needs. It's best to consult your vet for the best food for adult rabbits.
How should I store the nuggets?
Store the nuggets in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
