Grass and hay are the main food sources for rabbits, however they can also eat a variety of vegetables. They should not be fed meat or dairy as foods like these are detrimental to their health.<\/p>\n<p>The types of hay rabbits can eat:<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-745194979 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -20px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-745194979 > .col-inner {\n    margin: 0px 0px -20px 0px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1974817336\" class=\"col medium-5 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">straw for bedding (that they will also nibble on).<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">oaten hay.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">pasture (meadow) hay.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">lucerne hay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1974817336 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -38px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-658743439\" class=\"col medium-5 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Other types of hay can be used, such as rye grass, but it is important to check for dust and prickles in the hay that may not be suitable for your rabbit.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">All hay must be free of mould and signs of \u2018vermin\u2019 (rat or mouse droppings and creepy crawlies).

The initial vaccination is given to your rabbit at three months of age. Following on from this, your rabbit will require yearly boosters to ensure they stay healthy and protected. <\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-840139938 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -30px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-840139938 > .col-inner {\n    margin: 0px 0px -30px 0px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-8705874\" class=\"col medium-12 small-12 large-10\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-center\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h6>Desexing your Rabbit<\/h6>\n<p>It is important to have your rabbit vaccinated as rabbits are extremely fertile! The gestation period for a rabbit is only one month long and a female rabbit can give birth to up to 12 young each time she births. Preventing unwanted pregnancy is one of the many reasons we recommend you have your rabbit desexed.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to preventing pregnancy, both male and female rabbits that are not desexed have a higher risk of developing cancer: testicular cancer in males and uterine cancer in females. In some rabbit breeds this chance is between 50-80% by age 5.<\/p>\n<p>Both male and female rabbits have a tendency towards aggression and territorial behaviour, including urine spraying as well as inter-rabbit and rabbit-human aggression. Desexing your rabbit reduces these behaviours.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-8705874 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px -30px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-8705874 > .col-inner {\n    margin: 0px 0px -30px 0px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_888106828 {\n  padding-top: 40px;\n  padding-bottom: 40px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-blank.php","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1662","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.0 (Yoast SEO v25.4) -
