Daily Veg

[GreatBritGirl]

Just wondering what veg you feed your rabbits ona daily basis as i keep reading carrots have too much sugar, some veghave too much calcium etc etc so what do you give your rabbit each day?

I use veg as a treat as well as hes still getting used to me so want to know something its safe to give him

Hes been having some veg since i got him and im introducing it gradually so i dont upset his stomach

Cilantro is a good one and romaine is another. You can chop both and offer just a little as a treat.

Another healthy treat I give mine is plain shredded wheatcereal. It has no salt, no sugar and has some fiber. Mine go crazy forit. Hopi bit me the other day because I didn't put his in his bowl fastenough.

My bunnies are sort of picky, so they don't likea whole lot. But they do love red and green leaf lettuce,romaine, parsley, carrot tops, and especially cilantro.

Here are some lists that show recommended veggies and fruits for rabbits:

Parsley is another good starter veggie!

My bunnies get about 1 1/2 to 2 cups of veggiesa day. They include: Parsley, Cilantro, Romaine, Collard, Mint, Basil,and Arugula. And then they get one mini carrot per week. My bunnieshave never reacted badly to this or had bladder sludge, but I wouldstill take it slow. My vet said that some bunnies do well with a lowpellet, high veggie diet, but others do not.

Every morning my bunnies get a veggie breakfast:romaine lettuce, endive, half a carrot each, some collards, parsley orcilantro, sometimes broccoli or a brussel sprout (it all depends onwhat I have, it varies). They get their pellets at nite and have hayavailable all day.

One bun, Zealand, had a bladder stone removed almost three years ago.It was then that I switched everyone to this particular "diet" program.She's had no problems since (keeping fingers crossed) and neither hasanyone else.

The shredded wheat thing sounds neat. I think I'll try that too.
