Here's why:
* Oxalates bind to calcium: This can interfere with calcium absorption, leading to potential issues like bladder stones and urinary tract problems.
* Low calcium content: Spinach is low in calcium, which is essential for rabbit health.
* Other concerns: Spinach can also cause diarrhea, gas, and bloating in rabbits.
Instead of spinach, offer your bunny other safe leafy greens like:
* Romaine lettuce
* Dandelion greens
* Parsley
* Cilantro
* Collard greens
* Kale (in moderation)
Remember: Always introduce new foods to your rabbit gradually and monitor their reaction. If you have any concerns, consult with your veterinarian.
