Our bunnies really like wheat grass, but if I were you, I'd pose this question to my Vet.

---herbivores are strictly grass eaters for teeth and gi tract-reasons,,--i spent 3 years in tennessee-(outside of memphis)--your idea sounds practicle however grasses won,t be all that grows,--we use to have involuntary plants,,onions,etc.,,--i strongly suggest feeding the rabbits known grasses/plants--and here is a link for plants http://www.medirabbit.com sincerely james waller--:happyrabbit::duck::idea

Hello .
Bermudagrass is a common turfgrass used in your area. Safe for bunnies, and tough as nails! Meaning drought tolerant, and soil type tolerant. Do you currently have an established grass area? It may likely be bermudagrass. You just need to make sure if you get seed that it hasn't been treated with fungicides or any quick start fertilizers or herbicides. You want just plain old seed.
If you're starting from bare soil I'd remove the top couple of inches of soil and fill it with organic compost. Then do your seeding. I know it's a bit of work but it's worth it (unless you're talking about a large area). This will create a much healthier grass base for the massive chomping that's going to go down, lol. You can overseed as necessary to keep it thick (if you even need to once its established).

*Warning! Bermudagrass is aggressive once established, spreads quickly, and will invade wherever it wants (by crawling, not seeding itself) But if you keep those bunnies munching you shouldn't have a problem. Hope that helps :biggrin2:
