It's safe. Here's a list for ya.






Try some of the following:

• Basil
  
• Beet greens (tops only)
  
• Bell peppers
  
• Bok Choy
  
• Carrot tops*
  
• Cilantro
  
• Collard greens*
  
• Dandelion greens (no pesticides)
  
• Dark green/red leaf lettuce
  
• Dill
  
• Endive
• Escarole

• Kale*
  
• Mint
  
• Mustard greens
  
• Parsley (curly & plain)*
  
• Raddichio
  
• Radish tops
  
• Romaine lettuce
  
• Spinach*
  
• Swiss Chard (red & green)
  
• Watercress

* High in calcium. Although high calcium vegetables contain less digestible calcium per volume than alfalfa hay or alfalfa based pellets, it is important to note that excess dietary calcium, along with other factors, may cause bladder stones or sludge in some rabbits. In addition, consuming vegetables that are high in oxalates in large quantities or on a daily basis may cause crystals or stones to form in the kidneys.

Other things to keep in mind when feeding your rabbit fresh foods:

• Remember to wash the greens thoroughly under running water.
  
• Feeding your rabbit wet greens is an excellent way to increase his water consumption.
  
• Never give a rabbit spoiled greens! They can make your rabbit very ill.
  
• Vegetables, such as cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli may cause gas.
  
• Light coloured head lettuces, such as iceberg, have little nutritional value.
  
• It is best not to give the same greens everyday. All vegetables contain various amounts of vitamins, so providing a variety ensures a more balanced diet.

My bunnies love spinach, I usually only give it to all of them when it's a holiday, or one of their birthdays.
