NOTE!! These general feeding guidelines serve as a starting point. However, it is important to recognize that individual dietary requirements can vary significantly due to factors such as age, genetic predispositions, activity level, overall nutritional status, and any underlying health conditions. The volume and number of feedings must be adjusted based on the patient and clinical condition. For a personalized feeding plan tailored to specific circumstances, consultation with a qualified rabbit veterinarian is strongly recommended.
