Keeping Rabbits
what different vegetables and herbs can rabbits eat?
Rabbits are herbivorous animals and require a diet that is high in fiber and low in fat. Here are some vegetables and herbs that rabbits can eat:
Leafy Greens: Romaine lettuce, spinach, kale, parsley, cilantro, dandelion greens, mustard greens, and collard greens. Cruciferous Vegetables: Broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts. Root Vegetables: Carrots, radishes, turnips, and beets. Other Vegetables: Bell peppers, zucchini, squash, cucumbers, and green beans. Herbs: Basil, cilantro, parsley, mint, oregano, rosemary, sage, and thyme. It's important to introduce new vegetables and herbs slowly into a rabbit's diet to avoid digestive upset. Additionally, avoid feeding rabbits vegetables that are high in oxalic acid, such as spinach and parsley, in large quantities as it can cause bladder issues. Always make sure that fresh water is available to your rabbit at all times.
