What happens if a rabbit only eats rabbit pellets?
If a rabbit eats only pellets and no other food, it can lead to a series of health problems, mainly in these ways. First, rabbits are herbivores that need a lot of coarse fiber to keep the digestive system healthy. Pellets have less fiber than hay, and long-term feeding easily causes indigestion. Second, a rabbit's teeth keep growing and need chewing on hay and chew sticks to wear down; eating only pellets may let the teeth grow too long, causing chewing difficulty, drooling, and oral problems. Finally, some pellets are high in carbohydrates and fat, and long-term single-food feeding may make the rabbit obese, raising the risk of heart disease, arthritis, and diabetes.
