7. Best Practices for Treating Your Rabbit

While treats are a great way to bond with your rabbit and provide enrichment, it's important to follow these guidelines:

  • Treats should make up no more than 5% of your rabbit's daily diet.
  • Always introduce new treats gradually to avoid digestive upset.
  • Choose treats that are low in sugar and high in fiber.
  • Use treats as rewards for positive behavior or during training sessions.
  • Rotate treats to provide variety and prevent boredom.

Remember, a balanced diet is key to your rabbit's health. Treats should complement, not replace, their main diet of hay, fresh vegetables, and a small portion of pellets.

Conclusion

Treating your rabbit can be a fun and rewarding experience for both you and your furry friend. By choosing high-quality, natural treats and offering them in moderation, you can enhance your rabbit's diet and provide valuable enrichment. Always consult with your veterinarian if you have any concerns about your rabbit's diet or health.
