I know rabbits can have kale, but what about red kale? My dad picked it up for Merlin... and I didn't know if it was okay to give him a little.....

So all I've found about Red Kale was this thread posted by another forum... but it really doesn't shead any light on my question:

Totally fine! Red kale is safe and tasty. It's just a different variety of kale, which is safe and tasty.

Thanks a bunch! Mr. Merlin is happily munching away at his red kale now:eats:

my bunnies LOVE kale, but i don't feed it too often. a few reasons: it can give a bunny gas if they're one of those gas-prone bunnies. it has a lot of calcium and other minerals that can make urine sludgy and/or put stress on the kidneys. so red kale is fine as much as kale is fine. i wouldn't feed either every day, but a few times a week is probably good!

Thank you so much on the note about runny poopy...that's what I'm seeing in my WildBill...phew I'm relieved. I did think it was that red kale but wasn't totally sure. But that's the only new food.
