The 3 most important foods for a rabbit are hay, hay, and HAY! Contrary to popular belief, rabbits do not need salt licks, vitamins, or hard wooden objects to wear their teeth down. Teeth are kept worn to a proper length by the silicate and lignin content of grass and grass. hays. Do not offer rabbits plants, vegetation, or tree branches unless you are. sure they are not harmful.
Limited pellets: 1/4 cup, per 5 ft. of body weight per day
Dark -green leafy veggies daily if possible. Good veggies: all leaf lettuces, dandelion greens, kale, collards, turnip greens, mustard greens, parsley, cilantro, basil, Avoid: cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, spinach.
Limited amounts of sweet veggies such as carrots.
Occasional treats in very low quantities: slice of apple, slice of banana, a -few, hulled sunflower seeds, 2-inch piece of carrot.
For more frequent treats, use fragrant herbs such as cilantro, parsley, arugula, basil, etc.
DO NOT feed bread or-other high-carbohydrate foods, as they can lead to intestinal dysbiosis.
Fresh water, changed daily. Double check to see that steel tall in bottle is working properly each. time you hang the bottle. Bowl (changed daily) encourages more drinking, but bowl must be heavy crock to prevent tipping rabbits LOVE to nozzle everything haha.
