Limited Leafy Greens and Vegetables

Offer small amounts of rabbit-safe leafy greens daily as supplementary food, keeping them under 10% of total daily intake. Introduce one new green at a time and wait 48 hours to monitor for digestive upset before adding another.

Why It Works

Fresh greens provide hydration, micronutrients, and enrichment that pellets and hay alone may not fully cover. Variety in safe vegetables supports a diverse gut microbiome, which strengthens digestive resilience.

Tips

• Safe options include romaine lettuce, cilantro, parsley, dandelion greens, basil, and carrot tops
• Avoid iceberg lettuce (minimal nutrition, can cause diarrhea) and high-oxalate greens like spinach in large quantities
• Wash all greens thoroughly to remove pesticide residues before feeding
