Feeding Small Animals

Rabbits

Rabbits need to spend a lot of time eating (4-6 hours daily) in order to keep their teeth wearing down at the correct rate. This is easily achieved by feeding you rabbit ad lib quantities of good quality hay or providing access to grazing in the warmer weather, alongside your rabbit pellets. The importance of this high fibre diet cannot be emphasised enough.

It is OK to feed fresh cut grass (within half an hour of cutting), dandelions, chickweed etc and fresh vegetables small amounts of fruit can also be provided. Lettuce, although not harmful to rabbits, provides very little nutritional value.

The importance of adequate water intake cannot be overstated. A rabbit who does not drink sufficient water will gradually begin to suffer desiccation of the intestinal contents.

Ferrets

Ferrets are not too finicky about their food, which can lead them into a lot of gastro-intestinal embarrassments. They also can get fat.

Although owners feed such things as dog food, these are designed for dogs (!) and that's why there's pelletted ferret food available. This is balanced enough and specialized enough for the unique nutritional needs of a ferret.
