We have been feeding our buns parsley. They have tolerated it well, and neither seem to have a problem after eating it. However, I read that we should not be feeding them parsley because it has something called oxalates? So, I started reading other things on the internet about the right kind of veggies to give our buns, and they conflict. Some say one thing is safe, and others say it's not. I just don't know what to believe. Our vet has a "bunny book" and it says this:
"Good vegetables to give include: carrot tops, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, and dark green leaf lettuce. Avoid iceberg lettuce (no nutrition), spinach/kale/parsley/beet greens/basil. (harmful oxalates), celery (strings can choke them & get stuck in molars), peas, corn (can't digest) and cabbage (causes gas). "
What do they mean by dark green leaf lettuce? Would baby romaine work? I have a mix of that in my fridge now, but was under the impression no lettuce was good.....so confused!
