Here's a breakdown:
* Hay: This should be the bulk of their diet, making up about 80% of what they eat. Timothy hay is best for adult rabbits, while alfalfa hay can be given to growing bunnies.
* Fresh greens: A variety of leafy greens like romaine lettuce, kale, spinach, cilantro, and parsley can be given in moderation. Avoid iceberg lettuce, as it offers little nutritional value.
* Pellets: High-quality rabbit pellets should be limited to a small amount, about 1/8 cup per 5 pounds of body weight daily.
* Treats: Occasional treats like small pieces of fruit, vegetables, or a bit of rabbit-safe herbs can be given, but these should be limited to prevent health problems.
Remember:
* Avoid giving small rabbits human food, chocolate, alcohol, or anything else that might be toxic to them.
* Fresh water should always be available.
* Talk to a veterinarian about what's best for your specific rabbit's diet.
By following these guidelines, you can help your small rabbit stay healthy and happy!
