Rabbit food, delivered
We pack and post rabbit food ourselves, direct to your door, which is a genuinely convenient way to keep a steady supply of hay, nuggets and fresh extras coming without a regular trip to carry a heavy sack home. But the convenience of delivery is only worth having if the food itself is right for a rabbit's needs, so it is worth knowing what to actually look for before choosing what to order.
What a rabbit's diet should actually be built around
Hay or fresh grass should make up the large majority of a rabbit's daily diet — a rough guide often used is a pile roughly the size of the rabbit itself, available at all times, because rabbits' digestive systems and teeth are built around near-constant grazing on fibre rather than concentrated food. A small measured amount of good-quality nuggets, plus a portion of fresh leafy greens, makes up the rest.
Muesli-style mixes, where a rabbit can pick out the tasty bits and leave the rest, are widely discouraged by rabbit welfare organisations because that selective eating leads to an unbalanced diet and can contribute to dental problems over time. A plain, uniform nugget is the more reliable choice for the concentrated part of the diet.
Why delivery genuinely helps here
A good hay-based diet means going through a reasonable volume of hay regularly, which is heavy and awkward to carry home compared with a small bag of nuggets. Having it delivered means you can keep a proper supply going without that being the limiting factor in feeding your rabbit correctly.
It also makes it easier to stick with the same trusted brand and recipe consistently, rather than switching between whatever happens to be on the shelf on a given trip — and a sudden diet change is itself something worth avoiding with rabbits, since their digestion does not adapt well to abrupt switches.
What to check before you order
Check that any nugget or pellet product states it is a complete food formulated for rabbits specifically, rather than a general small animal mix, since rabbits have particular fibre needs that other small pets do not share in the same way. High fibre content, ideally well above the minimum most brands quote, is a good sign.
If you are changing your rabbit onto a new food or brand, introduce it gradually alongside their current food over a week or two rather than switching overnight, and speak to your vet if your rabbit has any ongoing dental or digestive issues that might affect what suits them best.

Common questions
- What percentage of a rabbit's diet should be hay?
- The great majority of it. A commonly used guide is a pile of hay or fresh grass roughly the size of the rabbit itself, available at all times, with a smaller measured portion of nuggets and fresh greens making up the rest.
- Is muesli-style rabbit food a good choice?
- It is generally discouraged. Rabbits can pick out the tasty pieces from a muesli mix and leave the rest, which leads to an unbalanced diet and is linked to dental problems over time. A plain, uniform nugget is the more reliable option.
- Can I get rabbit food delivered regularly?
- Yes, we pack and post orders ourselves, so you can order hay, nuggets and fresh extras without needing to carry a heavy sack home from a shop trip. Many owners find this makes it easier to keep a proper hay-based diet going consistently.
- How do I switch my rabbit onto a new food safely?
- Introduce the new food gradually alongside the current one over a week or two rather than switching all at once. Rabbits' digestion does not cope well with sudden changes, and a gradual transition reduces the risk of an upset stomach.
