Below are listed some examples
of food items for your rabbit. Most leafy greens & herbs are
safe.
New choices should be introduced one at a time, and if you find any veggie
or treat results in a softer stool the same day it is fed, it should
be eliminated from the diet. CAUTION: Packages
of vegetables or premixed "baby" greens for salad
are not sufficient for the bunny’s needs, as they tend to be
lower in nutrients.
