Burgess Excel Rabbit Light 1.5kg

Burgess Excel Rabbit Light 1.5kg is a complementary, calorie-controlled nugget food that helps reduce and control the weight of overweight rabbits while supporting good digestive health. It is made for South African rabbit owners whose pet is carrying extra weight and needs a lighter daily food that still delivers fibre, vitamins and minerals.

Vets are seeing more and more overweight rabbits, usually because of a poor diet and too little exercise. Extra weight puts a real strain on a rabbit's health and can lead to serious, even fatal, illnesses. Burgess Excel Light Nuggets use a unique, all-natural weight control formula that helps bring your rabbit's weight down and then keep it steady at the correct level.

Key Benefits

• Reduced calorie content: A lighter recipe that helps your rabbit lose weight and keep it under control without changing to an unfamiliar style of food.
• Naturally high in Beneficial Fibre (38%): Fibre is central to a rabbit's digestion, and this formula provides it in generous amounts.
• Prevents selective feeding: Every nugget is the same, so your rabbit can't pick out favourite bits and leave the rest. Each mouthful gives the same balanced nutrition.
• All-natural weight control formula: Helps reduce your rabbit's weight first, then stabilise it at the right level.
• Natural prebiotic: Included to support digestive health while your rabbit is on a weight-control diet.
• Fortified with vitamins and minerals: Supports healthy eyes, skin and coat.
• Natural antioxidants: Help support the immune system.

Suitable For

• All overweight rabbits from 4 months to 5 years old.
• Owners who want a weight-control food that also helps maintain good digestive health.
• Rabbits that tend to pick through mixed foods, since the uniform nuggets prevent selective feeding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Burgess Excel Rabbit Light designed for?
It is made for overweight rabbits aged 4 months to 5 years. The calorie-controlled formula helps reduce your rabbit's weight and then hold it at the correct level.

What does "complementary food" mean?
A complementary food is designed to be fed as part of a wider diet rather than as the only thing your rabbit eats. If you are unsure how to build a weight-loss diet around it, ask your vet for advice.

How much fibre does Excel Rabbit Light contain?
It is naturally high in Beneficial Fibre at 38%. It also contains a natural prebiotic to support digestive health.

My rabbit picks out the bits it likes from muesli. Will this help?
Yes. Excel Light comes as uniform nuggets, so your rabbit can't pick and choose. This prevents selective feeding and means each mouthful gives the same nutrition.

Why does my rabbit's weight matter so much?
Vets report a growing number of overweight rabbits, mostly because of poor diet and lack of exercise. Excess weight strains a rabbit's health and can lead to fatal illnesses, so managing it with a lighter food and more activity is worthwhile.

Does a light food still provide enough nutrients?
Excel Light has reduced calories but is fortified with vitamins and minerals for healthy eyes, skin and coat. It also contains natural antioxidants to support the immune system.
