Selective House Rabbit

A rabbit's teeth never stop growing, and the single biggest reason a house rabbit ends up at the vet with dental trouble is a diet that does not make it chew enough. Supreme Science Selective's House Rabbit food is built around that problem: it is a nugget rather than a muesli, so a rabbit cannot pick out the tasty bits and leave the fibrous ones behind.

The recipe includes timothy hay, wheat, soya bean hulls, soya bean meal, dried grass, ground dried locust bean husks, flaked peas, linseed and dried thyme, with prebiotics (MOS) and yucca extract added. Crude protein is 14%, crude fibre 22%, crude oils and fats 4%, crude ash 5%, calcium 0.6% and phosphorus 0.4% — a fibre figure well above what a typical rabbit mix carries, which is the point of a "selective feeding"-proof nugget. Supreme's own feeding line says a typical adult rabbit weighing 2.5kg needs approximately 60-70g a day of this food, alongside fresh vegetables, hay and water.

• Timothy hay, wheat, soya bean hulls and dried grass base
• Crude protein 14%, crude fibre 22%
• Crude oils and fats 4%, crude ash 5%
• Calcium 0.6%, phosphorus 0.4%
• A 2.5kg adult rabbit needs approximately 60-70g a day, per Supreme
• 1.5kg pack

On feeding alongside hay. This is a complete food, but Supreme's own guidance still assumes fresh vegetables, hay and water alongside it — the 60-70g figure is not meant to be the whole diet on its own, and hay should make up the bulk of what a rabbit eats regardless of what the bag says. Check with a vet if you are changing a rabbit's diet from a muesli mix, since a sudden switch can upset digestion.

Who it's for: owners of house rabbits who want a single-ingredient-per-bite nugget that cannot be picked through, rather than a mixed muesli a rabbit will select through and leave half uneaten.
