The nuggets are high in protein and fibre to support healthy growth and good digestion, and they come in a 1.5 kg (3.3 lb) pack. They are a good choice for South African rabbit owners raising a new kit or caring for a Netherland Dwarf, Mini Lop or other small breed with a fast metabolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYoung rabbits are still building muscle and developing their digestive systems. Dwarf rabbits burn through energy quickly because of their high metabolism. Both need more from every mouthful than a standard adult food gives them. Burgess Excel has designed these tasty nuggets with higher nutrient levels for exactly these needs. Each nugget is rich in nutrients to help keep rabbits strong, happy and healthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNaturally high in Beneficial Fibre (36%):\u003c\/strong\u003e Fibre is the foundation of a rabbit's digestive health.
