Rabbits love to eat and naturally graze throughout the day. While giving Fluffy random “green” foods, like grass and lettuce may seem suitable, your rabbit actually needs the right balance of different foods to stay healthy. This means certain foods are better for rabbits than other foods.
As a general rule, good hay or grass should make up the bulk of your rabbit’s daily diet and be available throughout the day. Avoid feeding Fluffy grass clippings, since they tend to ferment quickly. Hay is not only good for a rabbit’s digestive health but also helps wear his teeth down as he grows.
Fresh leafy greens should make up the remainder of your rabbit’s diet. Here are few to try:
● Brussel sprouts
● Celery
● Bok Choy
● Cucumber
● Cabbage, both red and savoy
● Radishes
● Romaine lettuce
● Turnips
● Watercress
And to keep things interesting, you can let Fluffy forage for fresh herb plants, including:
● Dill
● Rosemary
● Basic
● Oregano
● Thyme
● Parsley
If your rabbit requires a special diet for health reasons, or you want more information about what foods to feed him, be sure to discuss this with your animal hospital Aurora CO.
