Adding Apple Cider Vinegar To Your Rabbits Diet

9/28/2017

7 Comments

 
We add apple cider vinegar to our rabbits water for many health benefits. We recommend you do as well! One reason we use ACV is because it contains essential vitamins and minerals that increase the overall health of our buns. AVC is known to prevent urinary tract infections and helps keep their HP levels regulated. Being a breeder we want the healthiest babies we can produce and try our best to prevent any birth defects or deaths. ACV is known to improve digestion and increase nutrient absorption levels through the G.I tract.

If you will be housing your rabbit outside or have other animals and are worried about mites or fleas, ACV is a solution for you. It helps keep those nasty pesticides away. When a rabbit consumes ACV it makes them smell "off" to the fleas and is unattractive to them. It will also benefit in keeping their fur coat shiny and smooth.

Cages can be a pain to keep clean if your bunny isn't potty trained yet. If they have peed outside of their litter pan and you just wash it out with water, they can still smell their urine in that area resulting in them going in that same spot again. When we potty train rabbits we clean our their cage a specific way to help them learn. First we dump out their litter pan. You want them to be able to smell their urine in there litter pan only. Next we boil a big pot of water with one cup of ACV mixed in. Sprinkle baking soda on the bottom of the cage and pour the hot ACV/ water mixture into the cage. Dump it out, let it dry, and continue with potty training! Convinced yet?! This is a miracle liquid that every animal owner should use!

Hi Jami! In our 16oz water bottles we add 4 to 5 drops and in our 32oz bottles we add 8 to 9 drops!

Have 6 mini Rex rabbits that I keep for the manure for my garden. Their water is in stainless steel dishes. When I water them I fill up a 2 gal container. How much acv would I put in this for them and can I do this continually or do I need to stop after a time. Their water is given to them 3 times a day and more in summer. Hope u can advise me on this

Hi i have more than 2 mos old buck. Im giving him apple cider since he is 6 weeks.does it cause early sexual maturity? As ive observed a while ago he already wanted to mate with my little doe. I think its too early for him. Any advice? Thanks

Hi Trina!

I'm not convinced that it causes them to sexually mature earlier but it's very normal for an 8 week old bunny to mount other bunnies. Sometimes it's more of a dominance thing then sexual. But rabbits can start reproducing at a very young age. So I would say the apple cider vinegar has nothing to do with it!

Hi Wyatt. I recommend taking your rabbit to the vet to treat the mites. Apple cider vinegar is a natural remedy to help prevent but there are still chances that they can still get them. Since your rabbit already has them, he/she needs to be treated.
