What's the ideal healthy diet for my baby rabbit in India, please?

I do not know what brands of rabbit food you are able to purchase there in Turkey. If you can get Oxbow Essentials I believe that is the best. Remember hay and vegetables should make up the majority of her diet - the pellets should be a minor part. Oxbow has pellets, hays, treats and vitamins for rabbits. http://www.oxbowanimalhealth.com/products/species/rabbits Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Thanks for your follow up questions about Julius. It sounds like there are a lot of unsuitable baby foods around that would not be good for Julius, so I am glad that you asked! Ideally, if you are going to feed a vegetable baby food, it should ONLY contain the vegetable and no additional sugar or dairy, and we don't want any sugary vegetables (i.e. carrots). Therefore, I would not recommend any that contain corn, sweet potato, milk, or carrots. This may limit your options to spinach or green beans. An alternative would be to grind up pellets (in a coffee grinder for example) and add water to them. This can then be syringe fed to Julius. This will provide more fiber than baby food, which may result in less GI upset than the baby food will. I hope that this answers your question, and please feel free to ask others if needed!

Commercial rabbit food from the shop is good, as is cucumber (more for moisture than food) and do not feed too many cabbage leaves. You can try to go to a park and get some grass (Smilee Greens should be near you). Make sure your rabbit has fresh water available at all times.

Hi there. I think this article will help you. https://www.vetsecure.com/animalmedcen.com/articles/298 This information is for rabbits in general and that would include California rabbits. Hope this helps!

Thanks for reaching out about Iola. Alfalfa hay is a good source of calcium and protein, and will be a good hay for the kits to eventually start eating for bone growth. Keep vegetable offerings in check, as can be sensitive to the delicate intestinal tracts of young animals. Good luck.

You can offer alfalfa hay until about 6-7 months of age. After that, switch to a quality timothy or oat hay. Adult pellets can be fed as well. To balance out the diet, begin to introduce leafy greens and vegetables.

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco. He is pretty small but definitely not a newborn. He looks like a Dutch. They are usually weaned from the mother at 4 weeks of age and I think he looks close to that but honestly, it is hard for me to say for sure. That being said, at weaning, it is best to keep all the kits together for a few weeks to minimize stress. I don't think that happened here. I suggest you try bottle feeding some KMR kitten milk replacer and offer some alfalfa hay and some pellets. Once he is an adult you need to stop the alfalfa and use timothy hay or orchard grass hay. Offer all of this and let him choose and see what he eats. Hopefully he will eat something. If he is not interested in eating anything you will need to find a way to get him to the vet sooner. You can get the KMR and bottles at any large pet store (like Petco). Walmart may even have it. I suggest Oxbow hay and pellets. You can usually find them at Petco but you may have to order online.

This diet is not good for your baby rabbit, she might not survive because her gut flora might change for the worse. i would recommend feeding her kitten milk replacer only, you can find it in any pet store.

Hello, again. There is hardly any nutrition in your homemade formula, & the rabbit will starve to death if you do this. If the baby rabbit is still nursing, it needs milk until it can switch to a herbivore diet. If you are unable to provide for the rabbit perhaps you can find a rescue who can properly provide what the rabbit needs. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
