Question 1

Are these ok to give instead of hay as my rabbit is not a big hay eater?

Accepted Answer

Hello

Thank you for your enquiry about Supreme Selective Naturals Fibafirst 2kg.  Whilst this product is not a substitute for hay, it is a very good supplement for rabbits that are not good hay eaters.  It can either be used in place of the rabbit's usual nuggets or pellets or as an additional topper or treat to increase their fibre intake.

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us directly by emailing experts@supremepetfoods.com.

Kind regards

Question 2

How many can my rabbit have a day there is no info on box.

Accepted Answer

I've been using these for years. All our buns get 1 of these a day (increased to 2 if their weight is on the lower side e.g after illness) but I don't worry too much if they have another half as a treat. 2-3 sticks seems to be the most common amount and should be fine for most buns. I wouldn't feed any more than that personally as it may promote weight gain. These are in my opinion the best 'pellets' out nutritionally - however they are *not* sticks of hay as another comment suggested and are not a substitute for hay. They are pellets with a higher than usual fibre content. It is very important that a rabbits diet is at least 80% hay. These are not simply compressed hay and are a good addition but not a substitute.
Try to keep them as airtight as possible, they get soggy if exposed to air and buns go off them (think like a biscuit would, no one wants a soggy biscuit!)

Question 3

do you feed these instead of pellets or just as a treat?

Accepted Answer

I feed them instead of pellets, as a treat. My rabbit is a mini-lop, and when she was about 7, she started getting eye infections, which the vet said was because her tear ducts have been damaged by overgrowth of her teeth from not feeding her enough hay. I used to feed her mostly pellets, but they said pellets should only be a treat. So now I feed her mostly hay and grass and leaves and twigs  from the garden, with a few of these Fibafirsts as a treat (she loves them).

Question 4

do you feed these instead of pellets or just as a treat?

Accepted Answer

Hello,

This is a balanced food for rabbits/small animals that is suitable for daily feeding instead of other foods.
It is not specifically a treat, although you can feed sparingly as a treat if you want to.
