Most pet shops sell food mixes specifically designed for rabbits and these usually consist of a variety of grains, pellets and dried vegetables.

There are also rabbit pellets sold in some stores. These are compressed food pellets designed to meet a rabbit's nutritional requirements.

Food mixes and pellets specifically designed for other animals should not be given as these may not be suitable to meet the rabbit's dietary requirements and could even harm the rabbit.

Rabbit mix does not perish quickly and so may be stored for some time in dry conditions without problem.

Rabbits should be fed a basic rabbit mix and ample hay, which is vital for their digestive system, daily along with fruit and vegetables or plants and flowers.

Any changes in diet, even changing to a different rabbit mix, should be made gradually as a sudden change in diet can cause the rabbit to become ill.
