Can I give my rabbit fruits or veggies?

Rabbits are herbivores, so they primarily eat plants and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are good for rabbits as they provide them with essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber. However, some fruits and vegetables should not be given to rabbits, or if they are given, it should be in moderation.

Generally, rabbits can eat most vegetables, especially dark, leafy greens like romaine lettuce, arugula, and spinach. Bell peppers, carrots, celery, cucumbers, and zucchini can also be given.

When feeding fruit to a rabbit, keep in mind that fruits are higher in sugar content compared to vegetables. Therefore, it's crucial to limit their consumption. Fruits like bananas, grapes, and pineapple can be given occasionally as treats. Additionally, apple, watermelon, and other fruits with high water content should be given in moderation as excessive consumption can lead to a runny stomach.

Avoid feeding rabbits avocado, rhubarb, and certain mushrooms as these can be toxic. Iceberg lettuce, onions, and garlic should also be avoided as they can cause bloating and digestive problems.

When introducing any new food to your rabbit, start with a small amount to check for any adverse reactions. Always provide a constant supply of fresh, clean water for your rabbit. Consult a veterinarian if you have any concerns regarding your rabbit's diet.
