I have three rabbits, two who are adults, one who is a baby. The two adults get the same thing, since they are of similar size, and the baby gets a different diet. I feel like there could be more I could be giving them, but I want some other people to look over my diet and give me some ideas. So with out further adieu, here is the diet.
Orion and Galaxy:
They get 1/8 cup pellets (oxbow bunny T) daily along with a pie pan full of veggies (roughly 2-3 cups). Usually I feed them any of the following: romaine, red and green leaf lettuce, carrots and tops, cilantro, parsley, mustard, collard and turnip greens, dandilion greens (when I can find them at the store), spinach and kale (in small amounts, can I give this more often?), brussel sprouts, snow peas (the pea pod things), endive, argula(don't know if it's good for them or not, but it looks similar to baby romaine), and I'm sure there are a few more things. Fruit wise, I don't give it often, but when I do, it's apple slices, banana pieces, melon (cantelope, honeydew, watermelon), and cranberries. Oh, and when my vet gives me fresh oats, I throw a pinch in their pellets. They also get unlimited timothy and grass hays.
Nebula (at 3 months):
Free fed pellets (oxbow bunny 15/23 and manna pro gro formula mixed together), also gets some veggies: collard greens, mustard greens, kale, spinach, carrot tops and small amount of carrots, snow peas, cilatro, parsley, romaine, green and red leaf lettuce. He gets small amouts of veggies until he gets used to them. Also gets unlimited alfalfa, timothy and grass hays.
What else can I give them? Or does the above look like a decent diet? Can I give sweet potato?
Orion will sometimes become more active than Galaxy and burn his calories faster, so during those times I up his veggies and give him 1/4 cup pellets until he evens out again.
Thanks
Betsy
