So this year I have start a patio container garden of some simple plants, not only for cooking, but also snacks for my little ones. Little ideas I have found over the internet that can save you money and provide fresh healthy snacks for your rabbit.
Regrowing vegetable - cut about 2 inches from base. soak base on water until you see leaves form. plant and harvest the leaves for a rabbit snack.
Celery
Endive
Romaine
Sweet potato leaves/stems- Had some old sweet potatoes under the sink. Put them in water on the window sill. you can harvest the leaves and stems for a rabbit snack.
Herbs
Rosemary
Dill
Chives
Oregano
Basil
Oat grass - My oat hay comes with oats, so to minimize them eating the oat I separate the oats, soak them in some water, lay across some potting soil and keep moist. You will soon have oat grass which my bunnies love. Much sweeter than cat grass. And if you take care of it, it can last you 3 or 4 months.
As for the containers, I have recycled our 2 litter bottles of soda, poked holes on the bottom, cut of the dome (but don't throw it away) and plant your seeds. The dome of the bottle can be used as a little green house as your seeds germinate. Doesn't cost you anything and your recycling too!
Do any of you guys have something you grow for rabbit snacks? Gardens geared for rabbits to enjoy? Looking for different ideas another bunnies owners have come up with; either for enjoyment or to be more cost effective on their veggie budget.
