Rabbits can eat a variety of vegetables, but it is important to introduce new types of greens gradually, in small amounts, to avoid potential stomach upsets. Here are some vegetables that rabbits can eat:
- Bell peppers
- Bok choy
- Brussels sprouts
- Carrot tops
- Cucumber
- Endive
- Escarole
- Fennel
- Herbs: Basil, cilantro, dill, mint, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, thyme
- Lettuces: romaine, green leaf, red leaf, Boston bibb, arugula, butter
- Okra leaves
- Radicchio
- Radish tops
It is important to note that no more than 2 cups daily of fresh vegetables should be given to adult rabbits, and dwarf breeds and rabbits under 5 pounds should get just 1 cup of fresh veggies per day. A variety of two or three vegetables is ideal, and one new vegetable should be added at a time, while watching for signs of loose stool or diarrhea because of bunnies delicate digestive systems. Additionally, rabbits should not be fed potatoes, corn, beans, seeds, or nuts, as these foods are difficult for rabbits to digest and can cause serious digestive problems.
