What vegtables and fruits should i put in a rabbit mix for my baby rabbit!?
im an exotics vet tech....if your rabbit is a baby, it is best, not to give him pellets (this will cause a slow grow rate of the lowr jaw, causing mallocclussions leading to severe problems). stick with the leafy greens and and timothy hay. good leafy greens are, kale, collards, chickory, dandilion, rommaine, raddichio, escarole, broc leaves, carrot or beat TOPS, the leaves from celery.....pretty much any leafy green that u can find in your produce aisle at the food store (no iceberg lettuce, it doesnt have a lot of nutrional value). they can have as much greens as they want, theres no limit, that and hay. as for treats, u can give things like apples, all sort of berries (strawberries,blueberries for ex), pineapple, mango, papaya, and cherries (fresh of course). but u want to limit this to 1 heaping tablespoon for every 2 pounds your bunny is (example a 4 pound bunny can have 2 tablespoons of treat foods) and this is a serviing size per day. never feed anything starchy like potatoes or corn, and stay away from grains, like cereals, breads, crackers, etc. if u have any questions, feel free to contact me at surfkitten79@aol.com, good luck.





PS. DO NOT FEED YOUR RABBITS OATS ( I JUST NOTICED A PERSON SAID THAT ON AN ANSWER AND THEY PUT AS A VET RECCOMMENDS...NO VET WHO UNDERSTANDS THE GI TRACT OF A RABBIT WOULD SUGGEST OATS. AND ONCE AGAIN, STAY AWAY FROM PELLETS...U CAN SAVE 100%26#039;S IN NOT 1,000s OF DOLLARS ON VET BILLS FOR TEETH TRIMS (COS ONCE A RABBIT HAS A MALOCCLUDED JAW....IT WILL NEED TEETH TRIMS FOR THE REST OF ITS LIFE, MAYBE ONCE A MONTH, MAYBE ONCE EVERY COUPLE MONTHS, OR EVEN ONCE A WEEK....IT CAN BE COSTLY...STICK TO THE GREENS I LISTED AND TIMOTHY HAY ONLY. GOOD LUCK.
Reply:the following website is great for all house rabbit info http://rabbit.org
Reply:You can also give her parcely, mint (great treat for them), and greens also tops off of fresh carrots, the carrots themselves are good for them too Just about anything thats a green or leafy vegtable works well for rabbits. My bunny also likes apples, pears, peaches, oranges, bananas, but only in small peices and not every day.





Dont forget to make sure that you are giving your baby rabbit actual rabbit feed as well as oats and if your vet suggests it vitamins in her water. They cant get everything they need in captivity from vegtables alone unfortunately. Another thing you can give her for a treet is sweet grass. Thats the thick grass that grows in most yards. But dont give it to her before you wash it because you never know for sure whats been sprayed on grass.





For an extra treat you can also give your bunny cheerios or little bits of plain cereals (no chocolates or suggery ones).
Reply:rabbits dont only like carrots. they like lettuce. and maybe even cabbages! ^.^
Reply:I agree completely with Martha, be very cautious about the amount of vegetables your rabbit gets particularly under 6 months of age.


Rabbits have digestive tracts designed to digest roughage so too many rich foods can cause serious problems such as diarrhoea or as an opposite, constipation.


To begin with offer your rabbit just a tiny amount of one particular type of veg, and offer new one%26#039;s very gradually over a period of time.


Avoid Iceburg Lettuce completely and fruits to begin with, these should be given in very small amounts anyway. Spinach, Kale, Spring Greens, Carrots, Cauliflower, Cabbage, and leafy lettuces (such as Cos or Curly) are fine as the rabbit gets older, but stick just to one kind for now.


As far as the rest of the diet goes stick to a good quality hay and try to get a complete pellet food rather than a mix. Rabbits are selective feeders and will leave the good stuff and eat the tasty stuff, meaning their diet will be unbalanced. A complete pellet has all the ingredients mixed into one pellet so will stop selective feeding.


Hope this helps :)
Reply:I%26#039;d be cautious about giving a baby rabbit too many vegetables. You don%26#039;t say how old the bunny is, but if under 1 year should be getting unlimited alfalfa pellets (plain only) and alfalfa hay along with timothy or other grass hays.


I would introduce one safe vegetable at a time in small quantities to be sure your bunny can tolerate them. And avoid spinach for now - it is high in oxalates. As for fruits, they should be limited.


This site is excellent and has very good diet advice including lists of safe fruits and vegetables:

Reply:Rabbits pretty much eat any fruit and veg we do, just make sure it is thouroughly washed before feeding it. Dark green leafy veggies like spinach and lettuce shouldn%26#039;t be fed to often though .


Apples, banana%26#039;s, cucumber, baby corn are some of my rabbit%26#039;s faves
