Feeding Tips
Remember that good quality hay and/or grass should make up the majority of your rabbits’ diet and should be available at all times. Rabbits should also be fed a small amount of leafy greens each day. Please talk to your vet for further information.
If you are currently feeding a muesli style food to your rabbits you should gradually transfer them onto a hay and nugget based feeding plan over a period of between 14 and 28 days, by gradually reducing the amount of muesli and increasing the proportion of nuggets until they have completely replaced the mix.
Always ensure you are monitoring your rabbits’ weight to ensure a healthy weight. Always ensure fresh clean water is available for your rabbits.

Customer Reviews
Received unexpected same day home delivery so was very happy.
Most definitely loved by my fur baby. She reacts as if it's a special treat. I have found something that assists in keeping her regular and it does not make her lethargic and doesn't seem to bulk her up. Definitely recommended for indoor bunnies.
Our Bunnies love the Burgess Excel Pellets and Pet plus has always been great!
I had a serious problem with my chubby bunny, Dot. She was so overweight that when I had her fixed, the vet did like a 'tummy tuck'' (first ever for the vet too)! Dot is now shedding the rest of the pounds thanks to Burgess Excel Light Rabbit Nuggets. She can now gain a bit more height with her Binkies.
