The range of supplements for rabbits is very versatile. Below we describe some common reasons to support your rabbits with a supplement, along with suitable examples.

Support during stress

Rabbits are sensitive animals and can easily experience stress, for example due to moving house, a visit to the vet or changes in their environment. Calming supplements or diffusers can help in these situations.

Support for hormonal behaviour in your rabbit

Unneutered or unspayed rabbits can show unwanted hormonal behaviour, such as mounting, spraying or false pregnancy. There are supplements that can help regulate this behaviour.

Support for the intestines

A well-functioning digestive system is crucial for your rabbit’s health. In cases of gas, diarrhoea, constipation or recovery after antibiotics, supplements can provide support. For example:

Parasite control

Parasites such as mites, fleas or fly larvae (myiasis) can cause serious problems for rabbits. Fortunately, there are effective products available for both treatment and prevention, for example:

Support for skin and coat

Dry skin, flakes or itching can be signs of skin problems or deficiencies. With the right supplements you can support your rabbits’ skin, for example with:

Recovery after illness or surgery

After illness, surgery or a loss of appetite, your rabbits sometimes need extra support. Below you will find nutritious products and immune boosters for recovery:

Vitamins and minerals

Sometimes rabbits need extra vitamins or minerals, for example during moulting, after illness, when their resistance is low or if they have a one-sided diet. Young and older rabbits can also benefit from additional supplements. Vitamins support, among other things, immunity, appetite, metabolism, coat quality and recovery after stress or illness.

Examples of vitamin products for rabbits:

Note: only use supplements that are suitable for rabbits and always follow the recommended dosage. An overdose of certain vitamins (such as vitamin A or D) can be harmful.

What should you consider when giving supplements to your rabbit?

It is important to keep a few things in mind before giving supplements to your rabbits:

  • Supplements are not a substitute for a vet visit in case of serious symptoms
  • Always follow the recommended dosage and consult your vet if in doubt
  • Pay attention to changes in behaviour, appetite or stools, as these are often early signs of problems
