The FARMA Rabbit Special Mix is a muesli-style rabbit mix of alfalfa, cereals, flakes, croquettes and dried fruit in a 20 kg sack — a palatable part of a rabbit's diet rather than the whole of it.

Key Features

• Built on alfalfa (medic), barley, corn, carob and wheat, with corn flakes, pea and bean flakes, puffed rice and paddy rice
• Enriched with dried fruit — dates, figs, raisins and banana chips — plus coloured croquettes made from cereals and vegetables including beetroot
• FARMA declares 13.0% crude protein, 3.4% crude fat and 8.8% crude fibre
• FARMA's feeding guide is 60–100 g per rabbit per day
• Made in Greece by Farma Friends, a pet-food maker near Thessaloniki that has been blending seed since 1997

Feeding

• Weigh the 60–100 g rather than guessing. A handful looks like far less than it is
• Feed it as a measured portion once a day and do not top the bowl up until it has been finished
• Unlimited grass hay, fresh greens and clean water are the rest of the diet, and the larger part of it

Good To Know

• Hay first, always. A rabbit should eat roughly its own body size in grass hay every day. This mix runs at 8.8% fibre, where a rabbit's overall diet needs far more than that
• Muesli mixes invite selective feeding — rabbits pick out the flakes, fruit and cereal and leave the rest. That is the single biggest argument for a measured portion
• The dates, figs, raisins and banana chips are sugar. They are what makes the mix attractive, and the part a rabbit least needs
• A rabbit that stops eating or stops passing droppings is an emergency. Gut stasis can kill within a day — see a vet the same day, do not wait and watch
• Introduce any new rabbit food over one to two weeks. A sudden change causes soft droppings
