Healthy Rabbit Treats

At Burgess, we continually work with leaders in small animal welfare, behaviour and health to ensure we are at the forefront of small animal health and nutrition. All of our rabbit treats are designed especially for natural herbivores and are made with 100% natural ingredients, are high in fibre, and contain no artificial colours or flavours.

But don’t just take our word for it. One reviewer commented: “My rabbits couldn’t get enough of these treats and binky whenever they hear the packet rustling.” Another added: “First time I’ve ever tried this type of treat with my three bunnies… even the shyest ate it out of my hand…”

You can also add some foraging fun by mixing in some intriguing Luscious Leaves – containing dried dandelion leaves for rabbits, nettle leaves, red clover and ribwort. Or add some Wildflower Forage in with your buns’ favourite hay – made with a delectable blend of rose, hibiscus, marigold and cornflower.

If your buns haven’t tried it yet, we’re sure the Burgess Excel rabbit range will soon become your rabbits’ favourite food!

Rabbit treats and snacks should be provided occasionally – they’re ‘treats’ after all! The best way to ensure your rabbits get all the nutrition and fibre they need is by following the 5-point Excel Feeding Plan, developed in conjunction with one of the world’s leading small animal vets.

High quality feeding hay or fresh grass should make up 85-90% of your rabbits’ diet. Supplement this with a small portion of rabbit nuggets. The Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund (RAWF) recommends around 1 egg-cup full of rabbit nuggets, fed twice a day, per rabbit – along with the occasional healthy treat.

Each day, also provide a small handful of rabbit-safe fresh greens and plenty of fresh water. This will provide your buns with the perfect diet and ideal daily balance of fibre and nutrition.
