Kaytee Rabbit Food: Detailed Review by The Rabbit Expert (2017 Edition)

Kaytee Supreme Food for Rabbit

Kaytee’s rabbit foods are quite popular among both bunnies and bunny parents. Given that bunny parents don’t eat the pellets themselves, it’s obvious that they like the food because it’s healthy and their pets love it.

This is the Kaytee Rabbit Food Supreme which is also called the Fortified Daily blend and is one of the most popular products in their range.

It is a blend of pellets in a variety of shapes and colors and contains a healthy mix of nutritional ingredients that cater to rabbits of all ages.

But since the pellets are not uniform and they are of different colors too, pet parents who are new to the food are skeptical wondering if it’s artificially colored or if the rabbits will eat it easily.

Here’s my Kaytee Supreme Rabbit food review that also contains my experience feeding this to two of my bunnies.

The Natural Grain Based Food

One of the first and most notable differences among the Kaytee fortified daily blend and other dry foods is the ingredients.

This is not a hay (timothy or alfalfa) based food. Instead, it is sourced and pelleted from a range of natural grains and seeds.

This gives it a slightly crunchier texture as opposed to other foods. But that’s precisely what works in its favor because rabbits take an instant liking to the pellets.

But that does not mean that the food does not contain alfalfa. It is rich in proteins, carbohydrates, fats and vitamins. The primary source of protein in the food is alfalfa which makes it perfect even for young growing bunnies as well as aged pets who have suffered a lot of weight loss.

Wheat middlings are used as the carbohydrate source and this also doubles up as the dietary fiber that aids in digestion and prevents a sluggish bowel movement.

Rabbits have very sensitive tummies and you’d want to know that this contains Tocopherols, which are preservatives. They are well tolerated though and there are zero instances of this food not agreeing with a rabbit’s digestive system.

Along with the vitamin blend that is typically found in dry rabbit foods, the Kaytee Supreme Rabbit food also contains a healthy blend of Omega 3 acids which help in improving the quality of the rabbit’s coat.

One of the best ingredients in the fortified daily blend that helps prevent fur-fall is Biotin. If your rabbit is experiencing constant skin/fur problems, then try switching over to the Kaytee Supreme rabbit food.

Do Bunnies Like This?

I switched over to the Kaytee Supreme food after my vet recommended it for Chloe, my five year old bunny who had developed severe flaking and patchy fur loss. I had to transition gradually from Chloe’s timothy hay based dry food and it did take some effort.

But it was completely worth it because Chloe’s fur woes disappeared in the span of just three weeks. And since then, he’d not touch any other dry food except this one.

I have also tried to introduce a young rabbit to the Kaytee supreme and she took an instant liking to it.

Along with my personal experiences, there are ample customer reviews that also state that their bunnies love this dry food.

So, you shouldn’t have any problem with bunnies refusing to touch this. It has a very fresh aroma and most bunnies will dart towards their food bowls in no time.

What is The Right Amount to Feed Your Pet?

That depends on a lot of factors. The most important one is how much fresh food your rabbit eats. Along with the dry food, your rabbit also needs unlimited access to their favorite hay along with a variety of leafy green veggies and fruits.

If the fresh ingredients in the diet are being given every day, then you can add ½ cup of the Kaytee Supreme to their diet for a small rabbit breed like a mini lop.

If you have a large rabbit breed, then you can up that to 1 cup at least.

Please keep in mind that any dry food should not be more than 5% of the rabbit’s diet.
