One of the things we look forward to most as summer approaches is the abundance of seasonal produce and the endless meal possibilities they offer.

Grilled asparagus is a must-have at any BBQ, but like us, if you're always on the hunt for fresh recipes and ideas, visit our blog for some cooking inspiration

Did you know that rabbits have nearly twice as many tastebuds as humans? It’s no wonder they are such fussy eaters 😆

A nutritious diet is really important for rabbits, but it can be difficult to transition your bunny to new pellets. Here are some tips if you're making the switch:

🔃 Stay consistent! Maintain their usual feeding method (e.g. snuffle mat, bowl, etc.) and timing. Rabbits love routine.
🤏 Mix a little Fibre Feast into their old pellets and include with their daily feed, we recommend starting with 10%. Over a few weeks, slowly change the ratio of old to new until they are only eating the new pellets.
🪴 Add a small amount of their favourite herbs (such as basil, mint or parsley) into the new pellet mix to encourage taste-testing.
🐰 Don’t overfeed your bunny – only change their pellets once per day and don’t top-up their food. They should always have access to unlimited hay.
