Do you feed veggies? Fruit?

[JadeIcing]

So because of a post on another thread I thought I would start a poll...

The poll is multiple choice in case you have a different answer for veggies and fruit.

Sadly, I admit I only feed fruit and veggies at least once a week sometimes not even that

I'm trying to get mum to buy some different sorts.

 

[JadeIcing]

I feed fruit and veggies every other day. Usually one day veggies the next fruit.

 

[delusional]

My buns all get veggies every other day and I ticked once a week for fruit because I give it as occasional treats, probably works out at once or twice a week...

 

[Phinnsmommy]

Mine get veggies everyday and fruit maybe once a week.

 

[Bunnys_rule63]

Millie gets a bowl of mixed greens twice a day, everyday and the occasional small piece of fruit.

 

[Luvmyzoocrew]

my guys get veggies everyday, and oh my god they act like they never eat i couldnt imagine not giving them it everyday, lol, they would be so pathetic.



Fruit i give it w hen i have it, so sometimes it is more often then others.

I don't feed fruit or veggies regularly because Sherbert has a sensitive tummy and gets runny poos if she eats very much.

Mine get grass and dandelions every day. They get veg every other day and fruit on occasion, usually because I eat it all

Dunkin is too young to have veggies or fruit regularly, but once he is old enough he will get veggies daily and a bit of fruit weekly. Right now I'm slowly introducing him to Parsley and it's going good. He loves it!

My three get a large amount of various fresh vegetables every day, and a small amount of fresh fruit every day, usually apple, sometimes grapes, peaches or strawberries if we have any. They would be just a bit angry if they didn't get it. :shock: I only feed a small amount of pellets. They also get a big bowl of freshly picked grass and dandelions in the mornings, mum does that for me when I'm at school.

Seems a bit mean to me to not give them fruit & veg. Imagine living your life on boring old pellets and hay!

I wouldn't feel guilty at all I was feeding them fruit and veg everyday for the first week and it just didn't agree so now there on only pellets and hay.

When I had a rabbit she got a treat of fruit or veggies at least once a week, usually more. Every time I ate a banana I would make sure to break her off an end of it as I think those were her favorites. :bunnyangel:

Hershey eats mostly veggies. Most of the year, I just pick weeds for him: dandelion, chicory, plantain, clovers, wild carrot, wild parsley, alfalfa, wild grape leaves and mulberry leaves (I think that's about it). In the winter I buy Spring Mix, dandelion leaves and parsley for him.

He has free access to hay and pellets, but he doesn't eat much of them. I give him 2 - 4 raisins per day for a treat, that's the only fruit he eats.

It's interesting to see the varied diet of different rabbits!

Lola gets veggies when we have them ( obviously more in the spring and summer months when I can get to the farmer's market), she's not big on fruit but we keep trying....so far she'd rather have pellets than a piece of apple...

if you are a carrot top (not so much the carrot...) or lettuce...you are is serious danger!

 

[LuvaBun]

I feed veggies and fruit every day, mixed up with their pellets

Mine used to get veggies every day, but now that prices have DOUBLED (a head of romaine costs almost $3.00, parsley is $1.50 and cilantro is $1.99) they are getting them now every other day.

If prices come back down, they will start getting them every day again.

 

[Bo B Bunny]

Same with Bo. I give him lots of hay and he eats it like a little piggy! and his pellets - but fruit and veggies and treats...... they get them but not every single day and not all in one day.

I seldom feed my rabbits veggies and fruits. Sometimes they'll get a salad with lots of things in it, and that may be all they get for that month.

In the summer, I try to give them a salad at least every week and they get fresh picked grass daily.

I'm going to start feeding them more veggies & fruits regularly, at least once a week, which will just be this big salad thing with lots of things in it. They really enjoy it and plus the oranges are good for their fur.

Mine each get a big salad every morning. about 1 1/2 cups for the single, 3 cups for the pair. They usually get a mix of parsley, cilantro, and leaf lettuce. Right now they are also getting kale, it has been looking really good and the price is down, but I just split one leaf among them. I try to throw an "extra" veg into the normal salad, but I keep it to low quantities. Winter will bring brussels sprouts (1/2 per bun), spring chicory leaves, summer fresh herbs, the occasional baby carrot, etc.

They also get fruit every day. But it's not very much: Each bunny gets 1 slice of fresh banana each morning (or a banana chip if I'm out of fresh). Amelia will not accept fruit substitutions in the morning, there is banana or I am in trouble (she won't even eat another fruit in the morning, even ones she likes as treats.) Plus one raisin or dried cranberry in the evening, along with a Papaya tablet. Amelia won't eat the papaya tablet, though, so only Tobi and Nick get them.

Produce prices were so high this year! I have had to cut into my own grocery budget a bit to make sure the buns have fresh veg every day. They love the veggies so much, I can't deny them.
