Feeding a rabbit the wrong diet can lead to digestive upset, dental disease and other health problems. When you introduce new foods, do so gradually to prevent digestive problems.
Many foods that seem healthy to humans can cause problems for rabbits. Too many pellets, sugary treats, and even the wrong leafy greens can lead to trouble. Make sure your vegetables are pesticide-free.
For feeding, a heavy ceramic bowl works best, as it prevents tipping and keeps rabbit food clean.
And of course, rabbits require fresh water at all times, so make sure they have a clean supply available.
If your rabbit shows signs of digestive problems, such as bloating or refusal to eat, contact a vet immediately.
