FAQs
Can I feed this to my young, growing rabbit?
No. This food is specifically designed for adult rabbits prone to weight gain. Young, growing rabbits require a higher calorie and protein profile found in dedicated junior formulas.
How much should I feed my rabbit per day?
Feeding guidelines vary based on size, but typically 25g of nuggets per kg of body weight per day is standard, supplemented with unlimited hay.
Do I still need to provide hay?
Yes. Hay should make up 85-90% of your rabbit's diet. These nuggets are a nutritional supplement to ensure balance, not a replacement for hay.
Will my rabbit lose weight immediately?
Weight management is a gradual process. Consistent use of this food combined with adequate exercise will yield the best results over several weeks.
How do I store the nuggets to keep them fresh?
Keep the bag sealed tightly and store in a cool, dark, and dry environment. Avoid leaving the bag open, as moisture can affect the texture.
Troubleshooting
Rabbit is refusing the new nuggets
Ensure the transition period is long enough (10-14 days). Try mixing a tiny amount of a favorite treat or dried herb into the nuggets to encourage interest.
Rabbit is still gaining weight
Check total daily caloric intake, including treats and vegetables. Ensure the rabbit has access to daily exercise and is not consuming excessive amounts of high-sugar fruits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Transitioning your rabbit to a new food should always be done gradually over a 10-to-14 day period to prevent digestive upset. Start by mixing a small amount of the Light nuggets with their current food, slowly increasing the ratio of new food daily. Store the bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain freshness and prevent the nuggets from losing their nutritional potency. Always ensure your rabbit has access to fresh, clean water and unlimited access to high-quality feeding hay, which should make up the majority of their diet.
