I wouldn't - cabbage can cause gas, and gas is a big no-no for bunnies. I wouldn't take the chance.

Cabbage is actually the same species as kale and collard greens, which many people do feed. Yes, it can cause gas in some rabbits. I haven't had an issue, but then none of my rabbits have shown any sensitivity to any greens. Cabbage is actually a favorite here, especially the purple stuff.

Start with only a very small amount once per day and keep an eye out for any tummy upset. Although if your bun seems to get gas from veggies easily, you probably shouldn't feed any at all.

Cabbage has been a real favourite of all of my buns. It's fine to feed, just monitor her when you start just like you would with any other new food, if there are signs of problems better to stop, and introduce it gradually.
