I have
especially chosen these products which I believe are the best for
your rabbits. I have left out products that I have tried and
found unsatisfactory, such as certain rabbit cages, and
products which are unnecessary, such as salt spools. I have
included products I have tried or those that I have researched and
feel will meet your satisfaction. Items on this page are

All Living Things(reg) Water Bottles for Small Animals Rabbit (32 oz)
You have three basic options for feeding your rabbit
water: water bottles, crocks, and automatic watering systems.
The automatic systems are suitable for larger herds of rabbits.
The crocks are easy to clean and fill, and no rabbit has trouble
drinking from them. But they can tip over or be easily soiled.
Plus, using crocks can contribute to moist dermatitis under the neck.
Water bottles are generally more sanitary, but harder to clean.
Occasionally they drip. Most rabbits can learn to use them quite
easily. Even though the bottle holds more than your rabbit will
drink in a day, make sure you change the water daily anyway. |
 
Kaytee FortiDiet for Rabbits |
Kaytee FortiDiet for Rabbits
- available in 5 lbs. or 10 lbs. Okay, let's be honest.
Reading the ingredients on rabbit feed is like reading Greek. What
is all of this stuff anyway? If you want to know more about feed
in detail, you might either research the ingredients on the internet or
check out my blog post:
The Nature Trail Rabbitry BLOG: What's In Your Feed?
As for the Kaytee Forti-Diet, I like the fact that
the first ingredient is alfalfa. I see yucca and probiotics in
the feed. I'm not crazy about corn in rabbit feed or too much
molasses. The molasses does make it more palatable, however.
The protein, 17%, is best suited for medium breeds and wooled
rabbits (e.g., jersey woolies or angoras). However, fed with
daily hay, it should be safe for all breeds. Just don't overdo
the treats.

All Living Things(reg) Small Animal Sifter Feeder
I use J-feeders in my barn, though mine are not quite as
nice as this one. The important function is that it allows "fines"
or feed dust to fall out so that your rabbit's feed is not as dusty.
These feed fines can cause respiratory problems in rabbits.
The problem with such feeders is that owners are
tempted to fill up the feeder and not refill it until the rabbit has
emptied it. You should only do this on a rare occasion such as
when you will be gone for a weekend and you want to make things easy for
whoever is looking in on your animals.
On a normal basis, your rabbit's feed should be stored
in an airtight container and fed fresh daily.
Since the feed goes through your cage wall, the
j-feeder does add the convenience of allow you to feed your rabbit
without opening the cage door. However, don't be tempted to scrimp
on one-on-one time with your bunny! |

Mardel Dritail for Small Animals
I'm not a vet, so I don't want to start advising about
medications, but I can say that a number of breeders do use this
product. Diarrhea is a serious condition in rabbits. Consult
your vet any time your rabbit refuses to eat, has any diarrhea, or has
behavior that concerns you in any way. |
