Rabbit & Guinea Pigs
Rabbits and guinea pigs are herbivores whose natural habitat is grassy areas, so leaves, roots and seeds are usually the basis of their diet.
When kept in a domestic environment as pets, it is important to ensure a nutritionally balanced diet by feeding them a combination of a pelletised feed, hay or chaff, and fresh chopped vegetables and fruits.
A high fibre diet containing these is essential to ensure good gut function and health of your animals. Vitamin C is also an essential vitamin for the health of guinea pigs and must be provided by the feed you give them.
Barastoc Rabbit & Guinea Pig Pellet is a pelletised feed that has been specifically formulated to ensure your pet rabbits and guinea pigs receive a balanced diet.
An added bonus is that the hard texture of this pelletised feed gives your animals something to chew, therefore helping with their dental health. The feed also contains a natural ingredient called Yucca Schidigera extracts, which comes from a plant found in the deserts of America and New Mexico, whose extract has a natural odour absorbing ability. This reduces the amount of unpleasant ammonia smells created by animal waste. If you keep rabbits for commercial breeding and growing, then higher protein and energy levels are required in the rabbits diet.
It is also essential that the correct levels and types of Amino Acids are supplied in the diet because Amino Acids are the building blocks for protein that are needed by rabbits and other animals to attain optimum growth. Vitamins and minerals are equally important to optimise breeding and growth potential.
As with pet rabbits, a high fibre diet is essential to ensure good gut function and health, and a high quality diet must be fed to avoid upsetting the rabbits sensitive digestive tract. Good husbandry practices are also essential to prevent health problems in commercial rabbit production.
Barastoc Rabbit Pellet is a complete feed specifically formulated for commercial breeding, lactation and growth of rabbits. It also contains an additive called Adimix to aid in the rabbits’ digestive health.
