What Kinds of Veggies Should I Feed My Rabbit?

When shopping for vegetables, look for a selection of different veggies--look for both dark leafy veggies and root vegetables, and try to get different colors. Stay away from beans and rhubarb. Select at least three kinds of vegetables daily. A variety is necessary nutrients, with one each day that contains Vitamin A, indicated by an *. Add one vegetable to the diet at a time. Eliminate if it causes soft stools or diarrhea. Here's a suggested veggie list:

Alfalfa, radish & clover sprouts, Basil, Beet greens (tops)*, Bok choy, Broccoli (mostly leaves/stems)*, Brussels sprouts, Carrot & carrot tops*, Celery, Cilantro, Clover, Collard greens*, Dandelion greens and flowers (no pesticides)*, Endive*, Escarole, Green pepers, Kale*, Mint, Mustard green*, Parsley*, Pea pods*, Peppermint leaves, Raddichio, Radish tops, Raspberry leaves, Romaine lettuce (no iceberg or light colored leaf)*, Spinach*, Watercress*, Wheat grass.

Fruits For Rabbit

In addition to vegetables and then I also love eating fruit. I like apples, papaya, guava, mango and pineapple. Papaya and pineapple are also great choices, as they both contain papain, which is an enzyme that helps to keep rabbit hailballs at bay. While you should your rabbit more veggies than fruits, some fruits can be a nice treat for your pet. Only give him fresh fruit, never canned (which often has added sugar). Again, give only small amounts, as too much can cause watery stools.

Rabbits Are Vegetable Lovers

Rabbits are vegetable lovers, they should be fresh and crisp. Look for a selection of different varieties of dark, green leafy veggies and root veggies such as carrots, and green leaf lettuce. Stay away from beans and rhubarb. Select at least three kinds of vegetables daily. A variety is necessary in order to obtain the necessary nutrients, with one each day that contains Vitamin A. Add one vegetable to diet at a time. Eliminate if it causes soft stools or diarrhea. Here are some veggie rabbits love: Alfalfa spouts, Basil, Brussels sprouts, Carrots, Celery, Mint, Parsley, Peppermint leaves, Broccoli, Beet tops, Endive, Romaine leaves, Dandelion green etc. For me, I like to eat Morning glory, Basil, Chinese Kale, Choi Sum, Baby corn and Carrot. My caretaker buy only organic vegetables because they are safe from presticides.

Be careful not to give your rabbit too many vegetables, as they are high in water content and can cause diarrhea or loose stools. If this happens, reduce or eliminate veggie from the diet.

Moreover, don't give your rabbit so many veggies that he starts to eat them only and neglect his pallets. Veggies should be a supplement, not a main dietary staple.

Para Grass The Best For Rabbit

Para Grass is an essential component of a rabbit's healthy diet. One reason why is that feeding a rabbit fresh grass on a daily basic seems to reduce rabbits tendencies to pull out and consume or chew on their own hair, which leads to hairballs. In my country, there are a lot of Para Grass. It is a native grass and grows naturally. It is a medium size sprawling grass that may be noticd covering large areas growing in water or on land. Para Grass has leaf nodes swolling with dense shaggy hairs. Rabbits also love to diet Para Grass, my caretake always feeds me Para Grass but I eat it a little because I quite like Timothy Hay.

Hay Ball

I suggest that you should buy the ball with hay in it--let the rabbit chew the ball as well as the hay. Here is the Rabbit Salad Bowl that is hay and fruit salad treat contains Timothy hay, apples and cranberries. Natural woven grass bowl is safe to chew. Measures 5 in. L x 5.25 in. W x 2.75 in. D. Buy here.

My Hay

It is recommended that your rabbit eat a diet that is grass or hay based. So do I. I eat Timothy Hay. It is great taste. This high-quality hay aids her natural digestive process with fiber and because it is low in calcium, it decreases the chances of urinary tract problems developing. The high-fiber content also discourages obesity. Daily munchings will keep her healthy and happy! Please note that when you rabbit is a baby, she can have lots of alfalfa hay. As she grows older, she should get very little alfafa hay. Most of the hay an adult rabbit eats should be Timothy Hay, oat hay or grass hay. Your rabbit will prefer it if you keep the hay off of the cage floor with a hay manger. This will keep the hay cleaner and tastier for her.

Hay For Rabbit

Hay is essential to a rabbit's good health, providing roughage which reduces the danger of hairballs and other blockages and should be available 24 hours a day. Hay is very high in fiber, and your rabbit needs fresh hay every day. A rabbit younger than 6 months should have alfalfa hay, but and older rabbit should have timothy hay or grass hay because it has fewer calories and calcium content than alfalfa hay. You can put hay in the ball. I can eat it and play the ball altogether.
