Health & WellbeingHello, my name is Sophia, and I’m getting a rabbit! I was wondering what brands of food and hay are recommended, and how often I should trim her claws, and get her teeth done? Also, what size cage is recommended? Thank you for your time!
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.
