Burgess Excel Adult Rabbit Nuggets with Oregano 1.5kg

Burgess Excel Adult Rabbit Nuggets with Oregano 1.5kg is a complementary nugget food for adult rabbits, made to help maintain digestive health and prevent selective feeding. Oregano is added for extra flavour and additional health benefits. It suits South African rabbit owners who want a fibre-rich nugget to go alongside a hay-based diet.

Key Benefits

• High in Beneficial Fibre: The nuggets are naturally high in Beneficial Fibre at 39%. They are rich in nutrients and help maintain your rabbit's digestive health.
• Prevents selective feeding: Every nugget is the same, so your rabbit can't pick out favourite pieces and leave the rest. This is a common problem with mixed muesli-style foods.
• Natural prebiotic: The food contains a natural prebiotic to support digestive health.
• Fortified with vitamins and minerals: These are added to support healthy eyes, skin and coat.
• Added oregano: Oregano adds taste and is included to aid digestion and help alleviate stress.
• Natural antioxidants: These are included to support the immune system.
• Tasty complementary food: The nuggets are made to appeal to adult rabbits and work as part of a balanced, hay-led feeding plan.

How to Use

• New to Burgess Excel: If your rabbit has not eaten Burgess Excel before, introduce it gradually over a 10-day period.
• Switching from muesli-style food: Move your rabbit onto a hay and nugget-based feeding plan over 14 to 28 days. Slowly reduce the muesli and increase the nuggets until the nuggets have completely replaced the mix.
• Hay and grass first: Good-quality hay and/or grass should make up the majority of your rabbit's diet and should be available at all times.
• Daily greens: Feed your rabbit a small amount of leafy greens each day.
• Check weight: Monitor your rabbit's weight regularly so it stays at a healthy weight. Adjust portions within the feeding guide as needed.
• Fresh water: Always make sure fresh, clean water is available. This matters especially during hot South African summers.
• Ask your vet: Please talk to your vet for further information about your rabbit's diet.

Make the change over 14 to 28 days. Gradually reduce the muesli while increasing the nuggets until the mix has been fully replaced.
