Hi
– I’m “Broccoli Boy” and me and my friends are here to explain about
rabbit digestion and diet.
Click
on any of my friends' pictures at the bottom of this page for more information!
Here are some facts
to start:
A
rabbit’s digestive system makes up almost 20% of it’s weight!
Your
rabbit is a herbivore . . . a vegetarian.
A
rabbit's digestion is constantly in motion.
Rabbits
cannot vomit.
The
number one cause of house rabbit disease is a bad diet!
Rabbits
don’t see their food right in
front of them – it is a blind spot. They
smell it first.
A
rabbit has two types of waste and both are necessary to their health!
Do
not “fast” a rabbit - not even before surgery. It is not necessary.
A
blockage in the digestive system is very serious and can be avoided with the
right diet!
If
your bunny stops eating for 12 to 24 hours, this is an emergency.
Take your rabbit to the vet!
