🍖Food for the Dutch
Dutch : A hardy breed with no special requirements: unlimited hay, pellets rationed to its weight of around 2 to 2.5 kg and varied daily greens. Its food motivation makes it a good candidate for training treats, counted as part of the ration.
Diet is the number-one health lever for your rabbit — and the product family with the loudest marketing. Our guides compare product types, teach you to read a label and give realistic price ranges, so you feed right without paying for the packaging.
Unlimited hay (80% of the diet), fresh greens, and pellets as a measured top-up: a good pellet label starts with fibre.
