Oxbow has pellets and timothy hay in their product line. The majority of the diet should be timothy hay or similar grasses. Pellets should be limited to no more than a 1/2 cup daily. Alfalfa should not be offered after 7 months of age. Trim nails every 3-4 weeks if necessary. Your veterinarian can show you how initially. Teeth should be checked monthly. A yearly exam should include a dental exam and teeth trimming if indicated. Symptoms of overgrown teeth include decreased appetite, drooling, pawing at the mouth, swelling or discharge.

Rabbits should eat mainly timothy hay or similar grasses. This should make up the largest portion of the diet. A small amount of a commercial pelleted diet can be offered as can fresh greens and vegetables. If Cuddles is over 7 months of age, do not feed alfalfa. Provide a variety of chew toys to keep teeth trimmed. You should have Cuddles examined yearly, by a veterinarian experienced in treating rabbits, to confirm good health and to trim teeth when necessary. Do not attempt to trim teeth by yourself at home.

Congratulations on your rabbit! Rabbits should consume the majority of their diet (70-80%) from Timothy hay. Hat shotkdnalways be available in his house. A small amount of rabbit pellets (1/4 cup) daily and occasionally fruits and veggies as a treat. Any diet change in a rabbit should transition very slowly as their GI tract does not tolerate change well. Toe nail trim frequency is based on the individual and how quickly they grow but probably every 2 months or so. Best of luck and have fun with your new rabbit! Thank you for using Pet Coach.
