RABBIT CHAFF

RABBIT CHAFF - why should my bunny have chaff?

Gentle fibre variety to support healthy, happy bunnies

At The Rabbit Sanctuary, every rabbit has unlimited long-strand hay — and a dish of chaff alongside it.
Why? Because variety matters.

Rabbit Chaff adds extra texture, aroma, and interest to your bunny’s daily diet while still supporting gut health and natural foraging behaviour.

Our Rabbit Chaff is:

• 🌾 100% plain chopped hay

• ❌ No molasses, grains, oils, or additives

• 🌱 Low dust

• 🐰 Suitable for rabbits of all ages (when chosen appropriately)

Chaff is not a replacement for hay, but a nutritious companion to it.

🌾 Why add chaff to your rabbit’s diet?

• Encourages variety & enrichment

• Supports healthy digestion

• Helpful for picky eaters

• Easier to eat for senior or dental rabbits

• Mimics natural grazing diversity

Used daily at The Rabbit Sanctuary to support rabbits in care across NSW, ACT & VIC.

🌿 MediChaff (Prime Lucerne Chaff)

Our go-to rescue support chaff.

✔ Handy for sick or recovering bunnies
✔ Encourages eating when appetite is low
✔ Ideal for baby rabbits and nursing mother rabbits (feed unlimited)
✔ Useful during weight loss, recovery, or stress

Because lucerne is naturally higher in calcium, MediChaff is best used when needed, not as a permanent staple for healthy adult rabbits.

🐰 Feeding Tip

Rabbits can happily switch between Oaten and Wheaten Chaff for added variety.
Rotating between these two gentle fibre options helps keep meals interesting and supports natural foraging behaviour — while still offering unlimited long-strand hay as the main diet.

💚 Every purchase helps rescue rabbits

Every bag of Rabbit Chaff purchased supports the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of abandoned rabbits through The Rabbit Sanctuary.

Choosing Rabbit Chaff means you’re supporting better diets, better welfare, and better futures — for all bunnies.
