The most common custom rabbit diets are those with a standard diet base and added cholesterol. Additional fat (up to 8-10%) can also be a feature of these formulas. Typically, the added cholesterol ranges from 0.25% to 2%. Added fat is most often supplied as peanut oil, corn oil, coconut oil, or a combination. We recommend the Teklad base diets 2030 or 2031. Some of these custom rabbit diets use a different base diet (referred to as 7009 or 0533).
Rabbits do not readily consume purified diet. When specific nutrient manipulations are necessary, hybrid diets or at least some alfalfa meal inclusion is recommended.
