🍖Food for the Polish
Polish : With its very small build, the Polish is quickly overfed: weigh the pellets, as around twenty grams a day is often enough, and rely on unlimited hay. Introduce each new vegetable over several days, as its miniature digestive system copes poorly with sudden changes.
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.
