Slowing Gastrointestinal Tract Rabbits require a diet very high in indigestible fibre. Diets higher in indigestible fibre move
through the digestive tract at a faster pace and encourage both a continual need to poo & a constant desire to eat. Rabbits and
other grazers should consume grass hay throughout the day, encouraging healthy GI tract movement. Diets lower in indigestible
fibre lead to a slower movement of food through the digestive tract. When the tract slows, food remains in place, and the rabbit
has the feeling of being full. By choosing to not eat, their digestive system continues to slow. This potentially life-threatening
condition is the commonly feared GI Stasis (no eating, no pooing, & no digesting).
