* Fermentation: Grass cuttings can ferment in the rabbit's digestive system, producing gases that can cause bloating and potentially life-threatening conditions.
* Nutrients: While grass is good for rabbits, cuttings often have a higher water content and lower nutritional value compared to fresh, mature grass.
* Pesticides: If the grass was treated with pesticides or herbicides, it can be toxic to rabbits.
Instead of feeding grass cuttings, offer your rabbit:
* Fresh, mature grass: Choose a variety known to be safe for rabbits, such as Timothy, oat, or orchard grass.
* Hay: Timothy hay is a good staple for rabbits, providing essential fiber and nutrients.
* Fresh vegetables: Offer a variety of fresh vegetables in moderation, like cilantro, parsley, and romaine lettuce.
Always consult with a veterinarian or rabbit-savvy expert for specific dietary recommendations for your rabbit.
