The main elements to look at in a rabbits feed is the Protein and the Fibre. All rabbits need a high fibre diet but different breeds have differing levels of protein required.
A Mini Lop needs a diet high in fibre but low in protein as maintaining a healthy weight is of primary importance to its health. We have highlighted the top 3 commercial brands for Mini Lops in the table below. A French Lop needs a diet high in fibre but also high in protein as it needs to bulk up its weight. Most breeders of French Lops have their own mix they use as no one commercial product appears to give the desired results.
