ONE OF THE STRONGEST-SMELLING GARLIC SUPPLEMENTS AROUND!
Garlic has long been used to support a healthy respiratory system as well for the digestive system and as a natural insect repellent. The component responsible for many of garlic’s properties is allicin, which is a useful source of organic sulphur, but garlic also contains key vitamins and minerals which have powerful antioxidant properties.
Garlic Supplement contains natural garlic oil which provides a higher proportion of allicin than some supplements made from the dried garlic residue left once the oil is extracted. The potent garlic oil is combined with a nutritious base to create an easy to use powder that mixes and keeps well all year round.
TARGETED AT
- Persistent fussy feeders
- Those being fed supplements or medication which needs disguising
- All horses and ponies who might like the taste and smell of garlic!
Rabbit Balanced Diet – Health and Longevity
Rabbits have distinctive nutritional requirements. As a pet owner or breeder, your rabbit needs a diet that is crucial for their health and supports lifespan and well-being.
In this guide, we will explain the essential rabbit nutrition focusing on hay consumption as well as vegetable intake alongside other vital factors.
The Importance of Hay in a Rabbit’s Diet
Hay is a fundamental component of any rabbits diet. Providing essential dietary fibre that promotes digestion and prevents gastrointestinal (GI) issues. Hay plays an integral role in maintaining healthy teeth for natural wear down through constant chewing to prevent dental problems/overgrown teeth.
For adult rabbits:
- Timothy Hay is the best option
- Alfalfa hay is suitable for younger bunnies due to a higher protein & calcium content.
Hay must be available at all times because it accounts for about 80-85% of a rabbit’s overall dietary needs. Gladwells Pet sell Norfolk Pastures Dust Extracted Hay.
Variety and Selection of Vegetables and Greens
Vegetables and leafy greens provide essential vitamins and minerals that work with fibre-rich hay in a rabbit’s diet. Not all types of greenery offer equal benefits for rabbits, there are several vegetables that can be considered safe:
- Leafy Greens – Kale, Romaine Lettuce and Spinach
- Herbs – Cilantro, Parsley and Basil
- Non-leafy Vegetables – Bell peppers, carrots (in moderation), and courgette.
When it comes to feeding your rabbit it’s essential to avoid:
- Starchy Vegetables – potato and corn
- Limit sugary vegetables and treats – carrots should be limited.
To ensure optimal health for your rabbit make sure they receive a variety of nutritious greens daily, but keep the total amount around one cup per four pounds in weight. Introducing new foods gradually is crucial since sudden changes can cause digestion issues.
Rabbit Pellets
Rabbit pellets are a nutrient source that provide concentrated fibre, protein and essential vitamins. Not all types of rabbit pellets are created equal; When choosing pellets levels of fibre should be at least 18% and protein is 12-14%. Avoid any type with seeds or dried fruits, these can cause obesity issues and digestive problems.
The Benefits of Incorporating Pellets into a Balanced Diet
- Adult rabbits (over one year) require a daily intake of ¼ cup pellets per every five pounds in body weight.
- This is essential for their overall health and well-being.
Ensure that you follow this guideline closely to keep your furry friend happy and thriving!
- Younger rabbits have unique nutritional requirements that necessitate a higher intake of pellets during their growth period. However, as they mature it is essential to shift towards an all-hay diet for optimal health benefits.
- If your senior rabbit has weight issues consult a vet for guidance on reducing pellet intake. Each rabbit is unique, requiring individual attention to maintain health.
- Pellets are not meant to replace hay entirely. Overfeeding results in obesity and GI issues. You need to find the right balance between feeding with pellets as an addition not a replacement for hay.
The Value of Fresh Water
Rabbits must have consistent access to fresh, clean water as dehydration causes complications.
Safe Rabbit Food
Treats are handy to strengthen your bond but, it is important not to overdo it.
Safe options include:
Small pieces of fruit – Apples (no seeds), strawberries, and bananas.
Herbs – Mint, Dandelion Leaves and Dill.
Rabbits require a balanced diet to maintain their health. Avoid feeding with sugary or processed treats as they cause harmful effects on their body.
Food Poisonous to Rabbits
These foods should be kept away from your pet at all times. Remember: keeping an eye out for what you give your furry friend is key to ensuring its overall welfare!
Avoid:
- Chocolate
- Onions, Garlic and Chives
- Avocado
- Iceberg lettuce
To avoid obesity and digestive issues always limit bunny treats to no more than 5% of their overall diet.
Dietary Issues & How to Prevent Them
Rabbits are susceptible to health issues from an inadequate diet. Common problems include:
- GI Stasis: A dangerous condition where the digestive system slows down or stops, caused by a lack of fibre.
- Obesity: Caused by overfeeding pellets or treats, leads to decreased mobility and health issues.
- Dental Disease: Inadequate hay consumption leads to overgrown teeth, which can be painful and cause your rabbit to have complications.
Rabbits are susceptible to health problems that can be prevented with proper care and attention. Avoid these hazards with a balanced nutritious diet suited specifically to your rabbit’s age and current health!
Rabbit Care – A Happy, Healthy Pet
A balanced diet equals a happy healthy bunny. Hay should always be the primary component supplemented by fresh vegetables, high-quality pellets and occasional treats. There must be ample access to clean water at all times and harmful food must be avoided. By focusing on nutrition you can prevent common ailments and enjoy many years with an adorable fluffy companion who springs joy into your life every day!
