Instructions
Buy good potting soil, long flowerpots and drainer trays at a local nursery.
Buy seeds for your rabbit's favorite vegetables and herbs. Try romaine lettuce, radishes, escarole or endive, carrots, basil, mint, oregano and broccoli for starters.
Set the pots on a table out of your rabbit's reach.
Fill the pots with soil and press it down firmly.
Plant the seeds according to the package directions, but don't worry too much about spacing. Plants grown in pots can be placed closer together than called for on the package; they'll just be a bit smaller than plants grown outdoors in the ground.
Water the seeds well and regularly.
Continue to water the plants to reap as many vegetables as possible.
Pick fresh vegetables and some herb leaves daily; remember to rinse them well before feeding them to your rabbit. Feed only three or four oregano and basil leaves, as they're more likely than other herbs to cause diarrhea.
