The theme of this year’s Rabbit Awareness Week is ‘Healthy Diet, Happy Bunnies’, with the aim of highlighting how the lives of pet rabbits can be improved by feeding the correct, balanced diet.
A long-term study at the University of Edinburgh found that muesli-type diets have multiple adverse effects on rabbit health and may play a role in many disease processes. This study explored the impact of four diets (hay only, extruded diet with hay, muesli with hay, and muesli only) on various rabbit health and welfare conditions, through a controlled feeding trial on 32 Dutch rabbits.
