If you are introducing Complete 1.0 for the first time, please do not switch entirely at once. Instead, we suggest gradually transitioning by mixing it with the food your rabbit has been eating.
Please be careful that a sudden switch of food may cause refusal to eat or diarrhea. For example, start with 20% of Complete 1.0 and 80% of the current food, then gradually increase the ratio. Aim to completely switch to Complete 1.0 over the course of 1-2 weeks.
Rabbits are naturally cautious and tend not to eat new foods right away. If your rabbit isn't eating Complete 1.0, do not give up immediately. Continue to offer the uneaten food instead of discarding it. After about a week, they will likely become less cautious and may start eating it gradually. It's also common for them to suddenly start eating the new food, so please be patient and keep offering it consistently.
For the best results, we recommend feeding Complete 1.0 on its own. If there's no need to combine it with other foods, please stick to just Complete 1.0.
If your rabbit is not interested or gets bored with just one type of food, it’s okay to mix Complete 1.0 with other foods. However, the benefits of Complete 1.0 may be reduced when mixed with other foods, and it becomes difficult to accurately determine the amount to feed.
Calculate the amount to feed for Complete 1.0 by entering the amount of your rabbit's hay consumption and their weight. Then, adjust by subtracting the amount of the other food. Make adjustments by monitoring weight changes. If your rabbit is gaining weight, try reducing the amount of the other food, as other foods are generally higher in calories. This can be more effective than reducing Complete 1.0.
Unlike traditional foods, which specify the feeding amount in comparison to the rabbit's weight, Complete 1.0 requires you to consider both your rabbit's body weight and hay consumption to determine the right amount to feed.
However, it's easy to grasp that even with traditional foods, it wouldn't make sense to feed the same amount to a rabbit that eats 1kg of hay per month and a rabbit that eats 200g of hay per month.
Another factor that makes it difficult to determine the feeding amount is the presumption that you need to precisely measure the amount of hay your rabbit consumes in order to get an accurate feeding amount.
It's natural to want to know the exact feeding amount, but just like humans, rabbits have individual differences in their constitutions. Therefore, the calculated feeding amount is simply a guideline. Both traditional foods and Complete 1.0 use calculated feeding amounts as a basis, but adjusting the feeding amount based on weight changes remains the same. It's perfectly fine to use an approximate amount of hay consumed per month.
For example, if you buy a certain amount of hay every month but your rabbit only eats about one-third of it, you can estimate how much your rabbit is actually consuming based on that proportion. Enter this estimated hay consumption along with your rabbit's weight to calculate a daily feeding guideline. Use this guideline as a reference and adjust the feeding amount based on weight changes. Don't worry; a small difference in the amount won’t significantly impact your rabbit's health.
Complete 1.0 is designed to be a complete nutritional food, providing just the right amount of necessary nutrients and energy for your rabbit's growth. However, just like humans, individual rabbits may have different constitutions and might need additional specific nutrients due to their unique body conditions or illnesses. In such cases, using supplements to provide extra nutrition is perfectly fine.
The increased feeding amount for Complete 1.0 is because other foods were higher in calories. The recommended metabolic energy for rabbits is below 224kcal/100g, but other foods have been above 230 to 290kcal/100g. Complete 1.0, on the other hand, has a metabolic energy of 144kcal/100g or less. This means that even though the feeding amount for Complete 1.0 is greater than other foods, it will not cause weight gain. Rest assured, your rabbit will be getting the right amount of nutrition without the extra calories.
We believe that increasing the feeding amount enhances the quality of life for rabbits. With lower calorie content, rabbits can now consume satisfying portions, leading to longer eating durations. This extended eating time naturally stimulates their gastrointestinal tract, helping to prevent RGIS (Rabbit Gastrointestinal Disease Syndrome).
Some people worry that increasing the amount of food might cause rabbits to feel full, leading them to eat less hay. However, our tests showed that feeding the appropriate amount of Complete 1.0 does not significantly affect hay consumption. So, please feel assured and free to feed Complete 1.0 without concern.
However, there may be some rabbits that do eat less hay. In such cases, we understand you might be very concerned, but please monitor them for a while. Complete 1.0 is designed to support rabbits that do not eat hay at all.
Complete 1.0 is made up of more than 50% hay, including coarse hay to maintain its preventive effects against malocclusion and RGIS (Rabbit Gastrointestinal Disease Syndrome). Even if your rabbit's hay consumption decreases slightly, feeding Complete 1.0 will still provide sufficient hay to compensate for it. Therefore, please monitor your rabbit and rest assured.
