Rabbits should have a variety of fresh vegetables as part of their diet, but it's important to do it in moderation. Here's a general guideline:
* Small amounts daily: A good rule of thumb is to offer a small handful of fresh greens each day, about the size of a rabbit's head.
* Variety is key: Introduce different types of vegetables gradually to ensure your rabbit tolerates them well.
* Safe vegetables: There are many safe options, including:
* Leafy greens: Romaine lettuce, spinach, kale, parsley, cilantro, collard greens, mustard greens
* Other vegetables: Bell peppers, broccoli, carrots (in moderation), zucchini, cucumber, green beans
* Avoid: Some vegetables are toxic to rabbits, including:
* Onions, garlic, chives, leeks
* Potatoes (green parts and sprouts)
* Rhubarb
* Tomatoes
It's always best to consult with a veterinarian for specific feeding recommendations for your rabbit, as their needs may vary.
