Burgess Excel Indoor Rabbit Nuggets with Dandelion

Burgess Excel Indoor Rabbit Nuggets with Dandelion

Burgess Excel Indoor Rabbit Nuggets with Dandelion are a complete nugget food made for house rabbits. They provide essential nutrients that support everyday health and help prevent selective feeding. Each 1.5 kg (3.3 lb) bag is formulated around the needs of rabbits that live indoors, whether in a Johannesburg flat, a Cape Town townhouse or a family home anywhere in South Africa.

An indoor rabbit may spend its days exploring the lounge rather than grazing open veld, but its nutritional needs don't change. It still has to get everything from its diet that a wild rabbit would gather while foraging. Burgess Excel has formulated these indoor nuggets with vitamin D, dandelion and nettle to fill that gap. They are designed to be fed as part of the vet-recommended Excel Feeding Plan, which helps make sure your rabbits get everything they need to stay happy and healthy.

Key Benefits

• Prevents selective feeding: Every nugget has the same make-up, so your rabbit can't pick out favourite pieces and leave the rest. Each mouthful delivers the same balanced nutrition.
• Tasty dandelion: Dandelion is added to every single nugget to make it extra appealing, which can help with fussy eaters.
• Prebiotics: Included to support the immune system and encourage healthy gut bacteria.
• 40% beneficial fibre: This figure measures both digestible and indigestible fibre. Rabbits need both kinds in their diet to keep the digestive system working properly.
• Vitamin D: Vitamin D matters as much for rabbits as it does for people. It helps support healthy skin, teeth and bones, which is especially relevant for house rabbits that may get less time outdoors.
• Vitamins and minerals from nettle and dandelion: Both plants are great natural sources of vitamins and minerals that help support all-round health.
• Indoor-specific formula: The recipe is tailored to rabbits kept indoors rather than to outdoor hutch rabbits.

How to Use

Feed Burgess Excel Indoor Rabbit Nuggets as part of the vet-recommended Excel Feeding Plan rather than as a stand-alone diet. Following the plan helps your rabbit get the full range of nutrients it needs. The nugget format also supports good digestive health and stops selective feeding at mealtimes. If you are unsure how to fit the nuggets into your rabbit's routine, ask your vet for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is selective feeding, and how do these nuggets prevent it?
Selective feeding happens when a rabbit eats only the parts of its food it likes best and leaves the rest, which can unbalance its diet. Every Burgess Excel nugget has the same recipe, so there is nothing to pick out.

What age of rabbit are these nuggets for?
They are suitable for all adult rabbits from 4 months to 5 years old.

Why does an indoor rabbit need a special food?
House rabbits still need all the nutrients a wild rabbit would get from grazing. This formula adds vitamin D to support skin, teeth and bones, along with dandelion and nettle as sources of vitamins and minerals.

What does 40% beneficial fibre mean?
It measures both the digestible and indigestible fibre in the nuggets. Rabbits need both types, and they are key to maintaining good digestive health.

Can I feed these nuggets on their own?
No. Burgess Excel Indoor Rabbit Nuggets are designed to be fed as part of the vet-recommended Excel Feeding Plan. Speak to your vet if you need advice on your rabbit's overall diet.

Do the nuggets help with gut health?
Yes. They contain prebiotics to support the immune system and healthy gut bacteria, together with 40% beneficial fibre for digestive health.
