Fresh food list?


My friend is looking for a list of feeds she can give her rabbits. Fruits and Veggies, and any other treats that may be good for them. Thanks!

Also make sure she knows that young bunnies shouldn't have greens or treats right away, stick to hay and pellets for the most part.

Select at least three kinds of vegetables daily. A variety is necessary in order to obtain the necessary nutrients, with one each day that contains Vitamin A, indicated by an *. Add one vegetable to the diet at a time. Eliminate if it causes soft stools or diarrhea.

My new little guy seems to really like Romain lettuce, collard greens, brussel sprouts (he likes to roll them around and play with them before he eats them...great food toy!) and also cilantro and fresh parsley! Carrots are always a fav though!

My bunnies favorites are parsley and cilantro. They love carrots too, especially the kind with the tops on them. Make sure the tops are fresh and green though. Broccoli is another one of their favorites. Make sure your friend feeds lots of hay too. Like Jade said, hay should be one of the main parts of the diet. Its sooooo important for the digestive system.
