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 your pets 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 rabbit.

Sticking to The Excel Feeding Plan will ensure your rabbits get the right amounts of fibre in their diet. The Excel Feeding Plan was developed by the world's leading small-animal vets, to provide a perfect daily balance of fibre and nutrition.
The Excel Feeding Plan is a simple five step guide to help pet owners understand the high levels of beneficial fibre required by fibrevores. It is the only complementary range that, when used together, delivers extremely high levels of the right kinds of fibre needed in fibrevores’ diets and effectively promotes and maintains the dental, digestive and emotional health and longevity of these pets.
High-quality, dust extracted feeding hay should make up 85-90% of your rabbit's diet. You should make sure it is freely available and replaced with fresh hay every day. They are especially good for dental health as the gnawing action required to eat them helps to wear down teeth.
Excel Tasty Nuggets should be fed as a supplement to feeding hay or grass to ensure your rabbits get all the minerals they need. You should look for nugget products appropriate to your rabbits' life stage.
These delicious, natural and healthy snacks can be fed in small amounts either by hand to help bonding, left in housing to keep your rabbits occupied or sprinkled through feeding hay to encourage foraging.
Rabbits can be fed fresh greens as a treat to add variety and provide additional nutrition. Have a look at our guide to feeding greens below to find out what can be fed to your bunnies.
Everyday: Grasses (not lawn clippings), dandelion leaves, plantain, herb robert, rose bush leaves, nasturtium, wild geranium, strawberry and raspberry leaves, hazel tree leaves & branches, willow tree leaves & branches, apple tree leaves & branches, Hawthorn, brambles, goosegrass, blackthorn, nettle (dried), cauliflower leaves, celery leaves, green pepper, kale, mint, romaine lettuce (not iceberg lettuce), spring greens.
Occasionally (In Small Amounts): Apple (pipless), banana, savoy cabbage, turnip, carrot tops, swede, spinach, parsley, basil, dill, oregano, coriander.
A plentiful supply of fresh water should always be available. Change it daily in warm weather and ensure it hasn't frozen over during winter months.

Not only does my bunny love these nuggets, I know they are much better for him than the commercial colourful pellets you find everywhere. So happy to have found this brand.

Pethabitat sent me a free sample of these nuggets and my buns love them. I've since ordered 2kg of this as well as the adult nuggets and plan on buying them every month. A great improvement on the rabbit food available at the supermarkets in my city.

Just from the texture and scent alone it's clear that these nuggets are superior to other products on the market. When i initially tried to wean my bun off the 'luxury' mix he had (full of grains and nuts and dried fruit - very bad) I thought it would be a struggle as he'd already starting selective feeding. To my surprise he started to selectively feed off the Burgess Excel nuggets and leave the rest of the unhealthy bits behind, and he didn't have any digestive problems during this quick transition to Burgess Excel either. I am so impressed with the quality, a 2 kg bag lasted for well over a month, and I've just ordered a 2nd bag. Great Value for money, and it's even better to know I'm getting the best for my bun.

The buns are doing so well on these nuggets - so much better than the other muesli type foods on the market.

I started feeding my Binky his Burgess Excel nuggets, Herbage and Herbs yesterday and he absolutely loves it! I will never use anything else ever again! I live in Namibia and postage and import tax can get expensive but with all the discount Pet Habitat has given me it is more than the money worth! Also, on my first order I received a bag of bedding and litter and four boxes of salad treats which my Binky absolutely loves! Thank you so much Pet Habitat, you opened up a whole new world of healthy treats for my Binky!

Excel Junior & Dwarf Rabbit Nuggets is the best. My rabbits love them. Excellent nutritional value to keep them happy and healthy. I also use Excel Timothy Hay (Camomile) but every time I need to order, it is out of stock....

As natural as you can get which is vital for our bunnies well-being. They finish their bowl every night and when empty throw the bowl around demanding more! I guess that’s the best review you can get:) happy healthy bunnies!!
