The Redbeck – Pet Menu
The Redbeck – Pet Menu, At Redbeck, we believe that every guest deserves the very best.
Our menu is carefully selected to offer a natural, healthy diet, rich in variety and nutrition.
From fresh garden grasses to premium pellets and hand-picked forage, we serve only what we would feed our own animals — nothing less.

All flowers, leaves and herbs are free from harmful pesticides and provide a natural, healthy addition to the diet of rabbits, guinea pigs, degus and chinchillas.
Pellets
At Redbeck, we provide the following high-quality pellets as part of our standard boarding service:
- Science Selective Pellets

If your rabbit requires a different brand, we ask that you supply it directly.
We fully understand the importance of maintaining a consistent diet to support the health and wellbeing of our guests.
In our view, Science Selective and Burgess Excel represent two of the highest quality pellet options available — and by their nature, they are also among the most premium.

Specialised Dietary Requirements
We are fully aware that some guests require dietary adjustments, particularly those needing low-calcium diets.
Where needed, we can offer suitable low-calcium alternatives within your rabbit’s menu.
We closely monitor both food intake and output, ensuring that any necessary changes to diet are guided by regular observation and the specific needs of each individual rabbit.
If introducing new foods, this must always be done slowly — offering only a very small piece at a time — to allow your rabbit’s sensitive digestion to adjust safely.
Some rabbits may not tolerate certain vegetables or forage; if signs of digestive upset occur (such as a mucky bottom), the new food will be immediately withdrawn and replaced with a dry forage-based diet.
Our priority is the health, comfort, and happiness of every guest in our care.
A Final Thought…
Next time you go on holiday, just imagine whether you will be offered the same variety of options all served with the care, compassion, and attention of a smiling butler or maid.
There is a good reason Redbeck is renowned by our visitors as the best pet care in the area. We care for your pets as if they were our own — with heart, dignity, and a touch of home.
