Rabbit Feeding Guide
Introduction
If you search the internet you will see repeatedly that rabbits should have 80% hay or an all hay diet. The House Rabbit Society is an extreme animal rights organization that originated the 80% hay recommendation and associated propaganda. Oxbow is a partner of the House Rabbit Society and provides funding. For the past two decades, the House Rabbit Society has reached out to soon-to-graduate doctors of veterinary medicine (DVMs) specializing in exotic animals, offering them "assistance" with rabbits, including assistance in starting their own practices. This has resulted in many veterinarians indebted to the House Rabbit Society and their practices are influenced by the House Rabbit Society's flawed information. The House Rabbit Society and its affiliated veterinarians have a vested interest in promoting the 80% hay diet.
I recommend that you reexamine your sources, including those from major universities such as Purdue, UC Davis, Colorado, and WSU. If you review their Rabbit care guides, scroll down to the citations and fine print, and you will see that the House Rabbit Society has its fingerprints all over them. That is why Oxbow bags carry their feeding recommendations. Oxbow has a near monopoly on the pet rabbit market, and this incorrect information has proliferated over the last two decades. Another point to consider when reading House Rabbit Society propaganda is that in the 1990s, the House Rabbit Society conflated Cavy and Rabbit care, even suggesting that they could eat the same diet and be housed together. When it was discovered that Rabbits and Cavy should not cohabitate due to the Cavy's ability to infect rabbits with diseases, they retracted that recommendation but never adjusted their Rabbit dietary stance. The House Rabbit Society is not a credible source of information on rabbit care. Their advice is frequently outdated and inaccurate, and they are not always up-to-date on the latest research on rabbits. If you need trustworthy information on rabbit care, please reach out to an ARBA Breeder or a reputable rabbit organization such as the American Rabbit Breeders Association or the World Rabbit Congress. These organizations have access to the latest research and can offer the best advice for your rabbit.
One of the many reasons that Rabbits and Cavy are fed such different diets is that Rabbits have a distinct gut bacteria population to guinea pigs, so the mechanism of digestion is different in rabbits, despite similar anatomy
Comparison of the microbial population in rabbits and guinea pigs by next generation sequencing Edward J. Crowley,Jonathan M. King,Toby Wilkinson,Hilary J. Worgan,Kathryn M. Huson,Michael T. Rose,Neil R. McEwan Published: February 9, 2017 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0165779
ARBA care guides are written by a panel of DVMs and pellets making up the majority of the diet is their recommendation.
Not only that, but a study of the teeth/jaws and digestion of wild rabbits vs domestic rabbits concluded that hay is poor in nutrition, and hard to chew which causes malocclusion, and periodontal disease from hay getting stuck between teeth. Wild rabbits are high-nutrition selectors, they only resort to dried hay like grasses in times of starvation/deep winter, just to stay alive.
Pellet Feeding Recommendations
ARBA recommends feeding a completely balanced pellet as the main source of nutrition. The rule of thumb for selecting complete pellets for your rabbit should start with a baseline of 16% protein, 18% fiber, and grass or legume as the first ingredient. Typically feed instructions will suggest you feed a measured amount to most adult rabbits rationed twice a day. Total daily intake should equal 1oz of pellet per lb of ideal adult body weight. Rabbits are crepuscular animals, active at dusk and dawn with a rest and digestion period during the day. ie:" A 10lb adult rabbit would receive 5oz of pellets in the morning and 5oz pellets at night.
A completely balanced Pellet should make up between 80% and 100% of a rabbit's diet.
Fresh veg should be limited to no more then 1 or 2 tablespoons total a day, and it is best to use these fresh plants in small quantities for their medicinal properties, or as a supplement than as a main nutrient source becuse they can unbalance the complete nutrition already in your pellet. Too much fresh fruit or vegetable matter can kill your rabbit by unbalancing their delicate hindgut functionality throwing them into a bacterial overload which leads to bloat and GI stasis.
Why is Oxbow not recommended?
Oxbow lacks sufficient protein content and contains too much fiber. While rabbits that consume this feed may survive, they will not be healthy. The situation is analogous to a human diet consisting solely of junk food. While such a diet may sustain life, it is not conducive to optimal health. Rabbits require a minimum of 14%(DE) digestible protein energy to maintain their condition. This translates to a feed with a dry matter of 16%(DM) protein. A feed containing 14%(DM) dry matter protein provides only 12%(DE) digestible protein, which is sufficient to sustain a rabbit but not enough to build new hair and muscle. Rabbits fed such a diet will exhibit a flabby, wasted appearance and shed constantly. Fiber should not exceed 22% of a rabbit's diet based on a 16%(DM) dry matter feed. Therefore, if the protein content is reduced, the fiber content must be further reduced. For example, an Oxbow formula containing 14%(DM) dry matter protein and 25% fiber will further reduce the bioavailability of essential nutrients, resulting in only 9%(DE) of the protein being available to the rabbit, which can lead to malnutrition. We currently feed ADM Pen Pals 16% because it contains no whole or ground corn and is properly balanced for all life stages. Other suitable feeds include Small World 16% by Manna Pro, Kambalch 16%, Rowe 16%, Hienold Commercial or Wool formula, and Pen Pals 16%. The recommended feed is alfalfa-based with a minimum of 16%(DM) dry matter protein and a fiber content between 15% and 22%. While whole corn should be avoided, corn distillers is acceptable because it contains only the pure protein center, and the carbohydrates and hull have been removed. .
Nuanced Feeding recommendations :
Feeding Nursing and Pregnant Does
Nursing and Pregnant animals have a higher protein requirement while growing fetal kits. It is recommended that the Doe be kept on a regular feed ration for the first 2 weeks of pregnancy, but the feed should be gradually switched from a 16% maintenance diet to an 18% production diet. When the Does enter the 3rd week of pregnancy feed can be increased. After the Doe gives birth to a successful litter she should be allowed to free feed having a quality 18% pellet in front of her at all time until the kits are weaned, and she may remain on this diet until she has fully regained condition. Some Feed Additives that are safe and recommended to add to a nursing Does diet to help increase milk production are, Steam Rolled or Old fashioned Oats, Calf Mana, and Black oil sunflower seeds, measured 1/2 to 1 Teaspoon of each mixed into a separate bowl to prevent digging out the feed and wasting pellets.
Other safe supplements are bananas, the fruit only, for pregnant does, and bananas with peel for nursing Does, the size of the chunk should be limited to no more than a penny cut 1 inch thick slice, once a day from a medium-sized banana, extra huge banana limited to 1/2 inch. Bananas are high in Potassium and sugar that can help boost a pregnant animal's nutrient intake during the late stages of kit development. Banana Peels can induce labor/contractions so should not be given until right at or after birth. Another helpful supplement for your pregnant and nursing Doe is Tums, Tums either plain or fruit flavored contain calcium that can help boost milk production, Rabbits can have 1 or 2 a day for the first few days as their milk is first coming in, and 1 a day or every few days can be supplemented as a treat through nursing.
- Foods to avoid in Pregnant and nursing animals :
- Mint and any plants in the mint family, these plants will dry up milk and decrease production. It is fine to give mint to a Doe who has lost her litter and will not be used as a foster, or to one after 8 weeks to help dry her back up for her next breeding.
- Banana Peel should be avoided in pregnant animals, as it can cause contractions, but is safe to give after or during labor.
Feeding Weanling Rabbits from 8 weeks to 20 weeks
Animals of this age should be free fed a higher protein (17% to 20%) Complete Pellet since their bodies are growing.
Feeding Adult Non-producing Rabbits
Non-producing animals can be fed according to need, Protein between 15% or 17% are acceptable and will suit most animals needs. Make sure the pellet has a minimum of 15% fiber. Non-producing and pet animals can be on a timothy or alfalfa based pellet. Other bases may be available but grass or legume hay-based pellets are preferred. Try to avoid pellets that use grain as a base.
Total daily intake should equal 1oz of pellet per lb of ideal adult body weight. Rabbits are crepuscular animals, active at dusk and dawn with a rest and digestion period during the day. ie:" a 10lb adult rabbit would receive 5oz of pellets in the morning and 5oz pellets at night.
Conditioning Show Rabbits
- Coat Finisher supplement high in Vit E and higher fat content, BOS (Black Oil sunflower seed) is frequently used to boost these two items.
- Muscle and flesh Conditioner, Proteins boosters, typically Whey, Rolled Oats and Barley are used to help condition muscle and firmness of flesh.
- Digestive Aid : increases uptake of nutrients. A few common supplements that assist in are Papaya enzyme, which will also help break down ingested wool and fur during shedding season. Fiber in the form of Grass hays , Beet pulp shreds, *keep amounts small high in sugar. Shredded Plain Pumpkin.
Other Feed Additives
Proteins
While a cheaper maintenance feed can sustain a rabbit on 12%-15% protein for nonproductive animals, a Ration of 16% will give best results on overall health and condition of the Rabbit. It is worth a little extra cost to feed a rabbit a slightly higher protein balanced maintenance feed.
Although protein is an expensive part of the ration, rabbits can be fed higher levels of protein than those required for the type or stage of the rabbit if the ration is adequate in other nutrients. Therefore, it can be easier to use a single ration for all stages of rabbit production. Rabbit Tracks: Feeds and Feeding April 24, 2017 - Author: Michigan State University Extension
- Corn Distillers: Do not confuse feed corn with corn distillers. Distillers is the pure protein centers of corn after the brewing process eats all the sugars out of it. When the studies on corn started coming out it created a better understanding of how those break down into sugars... and sugars cause bad bacterial gut blooms that cause bloat , GI stasis and death.
- Soybean :
conclusion from this study don't use CowPea, it will destroy the kidneys and New Zealand's absolutely fail on it. Soybean can be used safely as a sole or additive source of proteins .
The results observed in this study indicate the superiority of soybean over pigeon pea and cowpea as sole sources of protein in rabbit rations. The study further demonstrated that pigeon pea was superior to cowpea as a sole source of protein in rabbit rations. The study has also indicated that even though soybean has been observed to be more effective than pigeon pea and cowpea as a protein supplement, pigeon pea can replace soybean without adversely affecting the performance of rabbits. Results of this study suggest that the variety of cowpea used in these experiments is not suitable as a sole source of protein in rabbit rations because of its high tannin content. Donald Chisowa
Fat
- oils
- Black Oil Sunflower seeds
Carbs
- Corn*
- Do not feed whole or cracked corn to rabbits, certain corn by-products and feed derivatives are ok, but not the kernels. Rabbits can not digest the whole or cracked kernels and it will cause a sugar over load in the hind gut leading to bloat and GI stais .**

Fiber
The digestion of fibre in the rabbit was subjected to several recent reviews (GIDENNE, 1996; GIDENNE et al., 1998d; DE BLAS et al., 1999), as the dietary fibre supply is implicated in the prevention of the digestive disorders (GIDENNE, 1997). However, the favourable effect of fibres with respect to resistance to pathogenic agents was clearly shown only recently (LICOIS and GIDENNE, 1999). In 2000, the same team has also clearly demonstrated the interaction between the initial health status of the animal (SPF vs conventional) and the reaction to low fibre feeds: the higher the initial health status, the lower the digestive disorders frequency (BENNEGADI et al., 2000) On the other hand, a high fibre supply leads to an energy dilution of the diet. The animal thus attempts to increase its feed intake to satisfy energetic needs, and the feed conversion is reduced. When the dietary fibre level is very high (>25% ADF), the animal cannot increase its intake sufficiently to meet its energetic needs, thus leading to a lower growth rate. ~ F. Lebas & T.

Hay Feeding recommendations and balancing :
"There is a vast difference in the nutritional value of hay, depending on the type of hay, the quality of forage prior to preparation and the type of and manner of the curing process of hay." Dr. T.E.Reed, Rabbit Specialist
This is a limited listing of commonly fed Rabbit hays , for a FULL list of forage types please see [1] Feedipedia which is an excellent breakdown of advanced nutritional breakdown including granular analysis of each feed type including hays , grasses Legumes forage, and grains. The following is a quick list of various Forages and their nutrient breakdowns.
Timothy
Phleum pratense L. [Poaceae] Average
- Protein :% DM 13.8 <- best case scenario, typically store bought Timothy that has been sitting for months has a protein of between 3%-9%
- Fiber :% DM 31.8
- Carbohydrates :% DM 4.7 -10.9
Rabbits Timothy hay has long been recommended to provide fibre, in addition to concentrate feeds, in rabbit diets for smallholder rabbit meat production (Cassady et al., 1966; Schlolaut et al., 1995), and more recently for pet rabbit maintenance (McNitt et al., 2013). Contrary to alfalfa hay, timothy hay cannot support maintenance in adults when used as the sole feed (Richards et al., 1962; Uden et al., 1982). However, it has been possible to include timothy hay up to 60 or even 75% in balanced diets without causing health problems (Keener et al., 1958; Uden et al., 1982). The nutritional value of timothy hay for rabbits is not very high. Estimations of the digestible energy content range from 5.8 to 6.2 MJ/kg. Protein digestibility is low: 62% for early cut young timothy grass (crude protein 17% DM) and 42-47% for mature hays (crude protein less than 6% DM) (Voris et al., 1940; Richards et al., 1962). In addition, it must be pointed out that as for most Poaceae the lysine content of timothy protein is very low and covers only 70% of the lysine requirements of growing rabbits. The very low calcium content of timothy hay (0.33% on average) can be advantageous or unfavourable, depending on the calcium content of the other diet ingredients.
Alfalfa
Medicago sativa L. [Fabaceae]
Average
- Protein :% DM 18.3
- Fiber :% DM 28.6
- Carbohydrates :% DM 4.5
"Alfalfa hay is of utmost importance in rabbit diets (Villamide et al., 2009). Alfalfa hay is highly palatable to rabbits (de Blas et al., 2010). Recommended inclusion levels are not consistent among authors and vary from 20% up to 96%, with a majority of recommendations in the range of 30-40% (de Blas et al., 2010; Fernandez-Carmona et al., 1998; Gippert et al., 1988; Harris et al., 1981 and Cheeke et al., 1972 cited by Fernandez-Carmona et al., 1998).
Alfalfa hay is the most widely used fibre source in rabbit diets: it provides long and digestible fibre, thus promoting adequate transit time for the digesta and a balanced growth of the caecal flora (de Blas et al., 2010). Alfalfa hay inclusion decreases caecal pH and favors caecal fermentation (Garcia et al., 2005). Alfalfa hay should be coarsely ground in order to preserve its ballast function and to enhance intestinal motility (Mateos et al., 1989). An excessive substitution of alfalfa hay with highly lignified sources of fibre has deleterious effects on energy digestibility and caecal fermentative activity (Garcia et al., 2000; Garcia et al., 1999); it may hamper average daily gain and feed efficiency (Motta et al., 1996; Parigi-Bini et al., 1980). Substituting short fibre feeds such as paprika meal, sugar beet pulp or soybean hulls for alfalfa had deleterious effects on the performance of fattening, lactating and suckling rabbits. It decreased the weight gains of fattening rabbits by 6%, milk production by 13% and litter weight by 18%. This lower performance was due to lower feed efficiency as the proportion of large fibre (from alfalfa) decreased. Large fibre proportion in rabbit diets should not drop below 21%, corresponding in this case, to a minimal level of 15% alfalfa in the diet (Nicodemus et al., 2006).
As a source of energy, alfalfa cannot fully meet the growth requirements of commercial rabbits, mainly because of its physiological limitation in ingestion (Fernandez-Carmona et al., 1998).
Alfalfa hay is also a valuable source of protein (25% of the dietary protein) though its nutritive value varies greatly, depending on several factors such as the harvesting and drying process or plant maturity at harvest. Though alfalfa protein content is sufficient to meet rabbit requirements, the low digestibility of alfalfa protein makes it unsuitable for sustaining high growth rates (Fernandez-Carmona et al., 1998). The apparent digestibility of faecal protein of alfalfa hay is about 21% that of soybean meal value and its methionine content is 42% that of soybean meal one (Villamide et al., 2010). In tropical regions, where alfalfa is not readily grown, other protein sources such as bambara groundnut can be used instead (Aganga et al., 2005).
Due to heavy fertilizer applications, feeding alfalfa to rabbits may result in excess K (Mateos et al., 2010). Alfalfa hay is rich in calcium: this may be an advantage during the growth period but it should be limited or avoided in adult rabbits (Lowe, 2010). Alfalfa is also an excellent source of most of B vitamins, carotene, E vitamin and K vitamin (Mateos et al., 2010).
High levels of alfalfa hay (88% and 96%) decreased rabbit mortality by 13.6% and 10.3% respectively (Fernandez-Carmona et al., 1998)."
Red Clover Hay
Average
- Protein :% DM 18.7
- Fiber :% DM 27.4
- Carbohydrates :% DM 13
https://www.feedipedia.org/node/246
"Red clover hay introduced at up to 30% in balanced diets in place of alfalfa meal (0, 33, 66 or 100% replacement) did not alter growth, digestibility and mortality (Grandi et al., 1988), indicating that red clover hay could be used safely in complete diets for rabbit feeding."
Oat forage
Avena sativa L. [Poaceae]
Average
- Protein :% DM 9.1
- Fiber :% DM 34.0
- Carbohydrates :% DM 17.7
Grass Hay
Catch all: Grass hay comes from a variety of sources timothy, brome, orchard grass, tall fescue, and bermudagrass. It contains lower levels of carbohydrates, protein, vitamins and minerals than legume hay. Grass hay is very high in fiber. Because grass hay contains fewer nutrients, it may be necessary to supplement your livestock’s diet to ensure its nutritional needs are being met.
- Protein :% DM
- Fiber :% DM
- Carbohydrates :% DM
Mixed Grass/Legume Hay
Legume and grass hay blends offer the best of both worlds and help bring nutritional balance to hay. Not only do these mixes provide a more well-rounded diet, but growing them together often produces more forage than growing a legume or grass alone. When considering establishing a legume/grass hayfield, aim for a field containing around 1/3 grass to 2/3 legume. There are several excellent combinations to plant. Some of the more popular combinations are orchardgrass/alfalfa and tall fescue/alfalfa. These mixed hays are readily eaten and healthy for all types of livestock.
- Protein :% DM
- Fiber :% DM

Bermuda grass
Cynodon dactylon Pers. [Poaceae]
- Protein :% DM 9.8
- Fiber :% DM 31.3
- Carbohydrates :% DM 0.8

This study was widely discredited, and removed from ResearchGate, and PubMed , becuse the sample size was 12 dwarf rabbits total. Not large enough sample to gather any conclusive evidence.
Also questionable Sources on the House Rabbit society care pages House Rabbit Society cites three sources for their information at the bottom of their care page, they cite zero studies, and zero research, you are expected to take what they post as gospel with no reviewable sources to back it up. it is there for not academic but a op-ed opinion piece. :

Dr. Susan Smith has been invited to speak at numerous HRS conventions. She has also written several opinion articles for laypeople. However, Dr. Smith has not published any research studies involving rabbits, peer-reviewed papers on rabbits, or sponsored rabbit-related research. In fact, all of her rabbit-related activities are solely in her capacity as a member of the House Rabbit Society board. The society appears to be using Dr. Smith's doctorate to lend authority to its opinions, but not to support those opinions with any empirical evidence. This raises the question of whether the HRS is truly an independent organization or whether it is a front for activist interests.

He was part of the study that tested , The Effect of Feed Form on Diet Digestibility and Cecal Parameters in Rabbits
December 2017Animals 7(12):95 DOI:10.3390/ani7120095 [2] . This study had a total sample size of 15 new Zealand Rabbits. Broken into three groups of five Rabbits. "Rabbits were placed in individual cages with ad libitum access to water and food for 45 days acclimation followed by 30 days experimental period."
"Simple Summary: In addition to hay or forage in the diet pet rabbits are commonly fed a supplementary food as a muesli (granular mix), pellets, or extruded croquettes. This study aimed to determine if form of this supplementary diet (pelleted vs. extruded) or composition (muesli) had an effect on the diets total tract digestibility and cecal fermentation patterns. Rabbits had slightly higher intake when fed extruded and pelleted diets compared to muesli. Digestibility results were inconsistent between estimation methods. The extruded diet was more digestible than pelleted according to the total collection digestibility method, but according to internal marker acid insoluble ash The pelleted diet was the most digestible. Both the extruded and pelleted diet had similar fermentation patterns, with lower cecal pH and greater proportions of butyrate. Our findings suggest that diet composition, rather than form, may have a greater impact on nutrient utilization by rabbits "
The pellet used was also only 14% protein. and the sample size was tiny.

I have reviewed the sources cited in the House Rabbit Society Article on nutrition. Unfortunately, two of the veterinarians they cite, Dr. Peter G. Fisher and Dr. Micah Kohles, do not appear to have any studies or research that support the claims in the Feeding article. Their only support comes from opinion articles that lack supporting research. In fact, the actual studies I have found by these veterinarians provide a more compelling argument for feeding a complete and balanced pellet over "salads" that are low in fiber and high in fermentable carbs, which according to one of their studies, can cause appendix damage. Dr. Susan Smith has no rabbit research in her portfolio, and her only connection to rabbits is that she served on the House Rabbit Society board and repeated the talking points she was given to enhance the House Rabbit Society's credibility. I find it very disappointing that the House Rabbit Society would promote such a misleading article, and I would not recommend it as a reliable source of information on rabbit nutrition.

REFLECTIONS ON RABBIT NUTRITION WITH A SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON FEED INGREDIENTS UTILIZATION REFLECTIONS ON RABBIT NUTRITION WITH A SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON FEED INGREDIENTS UTILIZATION " REFLECTIONS ON RABBIT NUTRITION WITH A SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON FEED INGREDIENTS UTILIZATION LEBAS F. Cuniculture, 87a Chemin de Lassère, 31450 Corronsac, France lebas@cuniculture.info ABSTRACT In this invited communication the author proposes a list of nutritional recommendations for rabbits of different categories: growing from 18 to 42 days, from 42 to 80 days, for breeding does according to productivity (40-50 kits weaned per doe/year or more than 50) and for a single diet suitable for all rabbits. Recommendations taking account the last published data, are divided in 2 groups. The first corresponds to nutrients which contribute mainly to feed efficiency: digestible energy, crude and digestible protein, amino acids, minerals, and fat-soluble vitamins. The second group corresponds to nutrients which contribute mainly to nutritive security and digestive health: different fibre components (lignins, cellulose, hemicelluloses) and their equilibrium, starch and water soluble vitamins. In a second part, 387 papers published during the last 30 years on raw material utilisation in rabbit feeding were analysed. In a total of 14 tables, the 542 corresponding experiments were summarised each by the identification of the raw material, by the highest level of incorporation used in the experiment, by the highest acceptable level, by the main ingredient(s) replaced by the raw material studied, and finally by the authors reference. Raw materials studied were those used in temperate as well as in tropical countries. The raw material were grouped according to the following categories : raw material used as single food (24 experiments), cereals and by-products (43 exp.), other carbohydrates source of energy (62 exp.), fats (27 exp.), full-fat oleaginous grains (10 exp.), oil cakes and meals (43 exp.), proteic seeds such peas or beans (42 exp.), miscellaneous sources of protein such yeast or leaf protein (18 exp.), animal products (21 exp.), non-protein nitrogen source such urea (9 exp.), forages (157 exp.), cereal straws, alkali treated or not (33 exp.), cover or parts of dried grains source of fibre such stalks, hulls or cobs (19 exp.) and industrial by-products usable as fibre source (51 exp.).
