Rabbit Quiz
 

False. It appears that pet rabbits do best with fairly low levels of protein, and diets without animal fats. Many pellets are very high in protein and calories, and are best for production rabbits (raised for food), not the average pet rabbit. As well, vegetable based oils/fats seem to be better for rabbits in their digestibility than animal based fats. Pet owners should carefully read labels and look for a diet with moderate protein levels (12-14%) and vegetable fats. The amount of pellets being fed should be strictly monitored to prevent excess weight gain, and rabbits should be fed using appropriate guidelines.
