What should I feed my rabbit?

There are many different brands of rabbit food available , but I would choose a pelleted type of food rather than the mixes as rabbits often leave the parts of the mix which includes the vitamins/ minerals they need. This can result in nutritional deficiencies. Rabbits should also have access to greenstuff or good quality hay as well as free access to water.
