Burgess Excel Adult Rabbit Nuggets with Mint

Burgess Excel Adult Rabbit Nuggets with Mint

Burgess Excel Adult Rabbit Nuggets with Mint is a high-fibre, nutrient-rich complementary rabbit food for adult rabbits. It supports good digestive health and stops selective feeding, a common problem with mixed rabbit diets. It suits South African rabbit owners who want a uniform nugget to feed alongside unlimited hay or grass as part of The Excel Feeding Plan.

Key Benefits

• Naturally high in Beneficial Fibre (39%): Rabbits are fibrevores, and this fibre level suits the way their digestive system is built to work.
• Prevents selective feeding: Every Excel Tasty Nugget has the same make-up, so your rabbit can't pick out the sweet, high-sugar pieces and leave the fibre-rich, nutritious parts behind.
• Natural prebiotic: Included to support digestive health.
• Fortified with vitamins and minerals: Formulated to support healthy eyes, skin and coat.
• Natural antioxidants: Added to support the immune system.
• With mint for extra tastiness: Mint makes this complementary food more appealing, which helps with fussier eaters.
• Complementary and nutrient-rich: Designed to round out a hay-based diet, not to replace hay or grass.

How to Use

Use these nuggets as one part of a balanced daily routine, following The Excel Feeding Plan:

• Hay and/or grass first: Good-quality hay and/or grass should make up most of your rabbit's diet and be available at all times.
• Leafy greens: Offer a small amount of leafy greens each day.
• Nuggets: Add the daily portion of Excel Tasty Nuggets shown under Dosage below.
• Fresh water: Always make sure fresh, clean water is available. In hot South African summers, check bowls and bottles often.
• Weight checks: Monitor your rabbit's weight regularly so they stay at a healthy weight.
• Ask your vet: Speak to your vet for further advice on your rabbit's diet.

Switching from a muesli-style food: If your rabbits currently eat a muesli-style mix, move them gradually onto a hay and nugget-based feeding plan over 14 to 28 days. Slowly reduce the amount of muesli and increase the proportion of nuggets until the nuggets have completely replaced the mix. A gradual change avoids sudden shifts in diet and stops rabbits from carrying on with selective feeding habits.

Dosage

• Feed your fibrevore an egg cup full of Excel Tasty Nuggets every day, as part of The Excel Feeding Plan.
• Always feed the nuggets alongside unlimited hay and/or grass, a small daily portion of leafy greens and constant access to fresh, clean water.

Suitable For

• All adult rabbits, from 4 months to 5 years old.
• Owners who want to maintain good digestive health in their rabbits.
• Rabbits that pick out favourite bits from muesli-style mixes and leave the rest.
• Households moving from a muesli-style food to a hay and nugget-based diet.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is selective feeding, and how do these nuggets stop it?
Selective feeding is when a rabbit eats the sweet, high-sugar parts of a mixed food and leaves the fibre-rich, nutritious parts. Every Excel Tasty Nugget is the same, so there is nothing to pick out and your rabbit gets a consistent diet in every mouthful.

How much should I feed my adult rabbit each day?
Feed an egg cup full of nuggets per day as part of The Excel Feeding Plan. Hay and/or grass should still make up most of the diet and be available at all times, with a small amount of leafy greens daily.

Can these nuggets replace hay?
No. This is a complementary food. Good-quality hay and/or grass must form most of your rabbit's diet, with the nuggets adding fibre (39% Beneficial Fibre), vitamins, minerals, a natural prebiotic and antioxidants.

How do I switch my rabbit from a muesli mix to these nuggets?
Make the change over 14 to 28 days. Gradually reduce the muesli and increase the nuggets until the mix has been completely replaced. Keep an eye on your rabbit's weight throughout.

From what age can my rabbit eat this food?
It is suitable for all adult rabbits from 4 months to 5 years old. For rabbits outside this age range, ask your vet for guidance.

Why does it contain mint?
Mint is added for extra tastiness, which makes the nuggets more appealing to rabbits.
