It's kind of frustrating to me that all the bunny safe veggie lists seem to have slightly different information on them, as far as which veggies are high in calcium, which cause gas, which you can feed often and which should just be occasional. It seems like the majority have some negative thing attached to them, but there isn't one web site that says all of them! I read you're supposed to feed at least two leafy greens every day, but it's difficult when it seems like the vast majority of greens need to be limited! Heck, based on what I've read in this thread, it seems like lettuce is the only type of leafy green you can feed without worrying about gas or excess calcium. I do rotate between types of lettuce (romaine one week, then red leaf, then green leaf), but I'd like to have some other "safe" green that he can have every day or every other day that doesn't cost a ton and is reliably found.
At the moment, I have in the fridge for Rory romaine lettuce, mustard greens, carrot tops, carrots, cauliflower, cucumber and celery, and then I have dill, cilantro, parsley, and two kinds of basil growing in my little herb garden (it's an AeroGarden and has been growing since July, the plants are almost spent now). The past few days, I have been giving him an entire stalk of celery sliced thinly as part of his salad. Do you think that's too much celery?
These are the veggies that Rory has had and approves of:
-mustard greens
-collard greens
-romaine
-red leaf lettuce
-green leaf lettuce
-carrot tops
-carrots
-celery and leaves
-broccoli, including stems
-cauliflower, including stems
-cucumber
-parsley
-dill
-regular and purple basil
-watercress
-pear
-apple
-banana
He doesn't like tomatoes, pumpkin or zucchini.
