Sounds great! I grow the lettuce mixes, carrots, and cucumbers for my buns and they love it. I have found if I plant my carrot seeds really close together the green tops develop beautifully but I only get a thumb sized carrot- perfect for the buns!

Good luck with your garden!

Oooooooo...sounds delicious and safe! Lucky bunnies!!!

Brandy--love the carrot strategy! Perfect for bunnies. Maybe I'll try it next year.

yes the carrots are safe the "scarlet" means the either the root or flower will be bright red.

lettuce can be eaten by rabbits but omly in small amounts because it is mostly water and might give them the runs. most of your salad mix will end up being more lettuce and maybe some spinach, same rule apples with spinach but u can give them a little more.
idk about the cucumber plant. . . they can eat its fruit but the plant is spiny and iv never heard anything good or bad about it, or have i fed it to my bunnies. you can give them a wee little peace and see how it dose them, after some Googleing!

lettuce doesn't really need to be given only in small amounts - it just needs to not be iceberg

mine scarf down romaine like I've been starving them to death and have had no issues with it
