Versele-Laga Complete Cuni Adult, 1.75 kg is a complete, grain-free pelleted food for adult pet rabbits. All the pellets are identical ("all in one"), so the rabbit cannot pick out only the tasty bits, which prevents selective feeding. According to the description, the pellets do not crumble, are eaten completely and help wear down the teeth. The food is based on timothy hay and other herbs and contains at least 20% crude fibre, limited starch, fresh carrot, linseed, fructo-oligosaccharides and yucca extract. The bag is filled with inert gas to keep the food fresh for longer.
What is known about the ingredients
The card has no full ingredient list, but it names the key components: timothy hay, which is rich in phytoliths, and other herbs (at least 10%), carrot (4%), linseed (2%) as a source of plant omega-3, fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) for the gut flora, and Yucca schidigera extract to reduce droppings odour. The food is enriched with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants, and the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio, according to the manufacturer, is balanced with urinary health in mind.
The manufacturer calls the long, silica-rich fibres important for proper tooth wear: a rabbit's teeth grow throughout its life, and chewing coarse fibre is what wears them down.

Cons and what to watch
- No full ingredients or analysis. Protein, fat and calcium are not given on the card.
- No feeding guide. It does not say how much to give per day.
- Rabbits are called rodents. The card's description and specifications say "for rodents", although rabbits are lagomorphs.
- Does not replace hay. Hay must still be the basis of a rabbit's diet.
- Adults only. Young rabbits need a different food.
How to feed
The manufacturer gives no daily amount, so follow the general rule for pet rabbits: pellets supplement the diet rather than form its basis. The basis is hay, available at all times, plus fresh greens. Give pellets in a small portion once a day, and reduce it if the rabbit starts gaining weight or eating less hay. Always provide fresh water. The diet is covered in detail in pet rabbit care and feeding.
Why hay matters more than pellets
A rabbit's digestion is built for a constant supply of coarse fibre, and its teeth for long chewing of grass. Pellets are eaten quickly, hay over hours. So even the best pellet cannot replace hay. See the hay for rabbits and rodents collection.
Switching foods
Change food gradually over 1–2 weeks, mixing the new pellets into the old and increasing their share. A sudden change can upset a rabbit's digestion. If droppings become soft or the rabbit stops eating, go back to the previous food and see a vet.
Odour in the hutch
The yucca extract, according to the manufacturer, helps reduce droppings odour. But regular cleaning and suitable bedding matter most. On housing, see the review of the Ferplast rabbit house.
Comparison
If you are choosing between pellets and a muesli mix, pellets have the advantage that the rabbit eats everything rather than just the tasty pieces. For comparison see the review of Special One rabbit food. All options are in the rabbit food collection.
Storage
Close the bag tightly after opening and store the food in a cool, dry place. The inert gas protects it only until the bag is opened, so use an opened bag within a reasonable time.
Who it suits
Complete Cuni Adult suits adult pet rabbits as a grain-free supplement to hay and greens, especially those used to picking only the tasty bits out of a mix. Other foods are in the food for ferrets and rodents section.
Verdict
Versele-Laga Complete Cuni Adult is a grain-free all-in-one pellet for adult rabbits based on timothy hay, with at least 20% fibre, carrot, linseed, FOS and yucca, in inert gas packaging. The downsides are that the card lacks a full ingredient list, analysis and feeding guide, calls rabbits rodents, and pellets cannot replace hay.
