Product Information

Intended to be a complementary pairing to rabbits’ fresh hay diet, this nugget food helps provide necessary nutrients.

Why should I switch to Burgess Excel rabbit food? An adult rabbit has done its growing, but it still has dietary needs to maintain optimal health. These nuggets are an ideal balance of both digestible and indigestible fibre. The former provides your rabbits with essential nutrients, while the latter helps both with digestion and grinding down teeth.

Nuts– All nuts are high in fat, not fibre, and will give your rabbits extremely uncomfortable indigestion. Excel Burgess Nuggets With Mint Adult Rabbit Food is a grass pellet-based food that is fortified with vitamins and minerals and with added mint for extra appeal. There are various sub-types out there. Timothy, orchard, oat or meadow grass hay is best for adults as it contains less calcium and more fibre. For young (under one year), pregnant or nursing rabbits, opt for legume hay such as alfalfa or clover Pellets/Nuggets However, the food is expensive, and some ingredients, like wheat and soybean, are not considered natural additions to a rabbit’s diet. Also, the primary ingredient is alfalfa hay: alfalfa hay is typically advised for young rabbits and may give adult rabbits an upset stomach. Excel Feeding Hay & Grass: High-quality, dust-extracted hay for rabbits or fresh grass should make up 85-90% of your rabbits’ diet. You should make sure that it is freely available and replaced with fresh hay every day.

If you’ve got some golden oldies, they may benefit from mature rabbit food with added glucosamine to support healthy joints, and added ginseng for increased vitality.

Timothy hay is dried Timothy grass. It is considered suitable for all rabbits, and it offers them the nutritional values that they require. Meadow hay is a more generic hay that might include some Timothy grass but will usually consist of several different types of grass. As such, it is difficult to know the exact protein and fibre content. Feeding meadow hay means that you might not be providing the diet that your rabbit requires. Most commercially available hay is Timothy hay, and if the type of hay is unspecified, it is likely to be meadow grass hay. Conclusion
