.....if red cabbage is ok for him to eat?

I have a limited knowledge of veg that's good / safe for bunnies as I most feed forage, but he has such a healthy appetite I'm going to have to introduce a bit more veg to keep him satisfied :)
 
I tend not to feed Veg either and any I do feed are not in the brassica family as they are far more likely to cause problems with gas. Some Rabbits may be absolutely fine with them, but having encountered quite a few Rabbits who were not I avoid them now.

I have yet to find a Rabbit have any GI problems when fed a wide variety of fresh herbs rather than Veg.

To answer your question, Red Cabbage isn't toxic to Rabbits, but it could cause GI tract problems for some

Thanks :) He's fine with a bit of green or white cabbage, so hopefully the odd treat of a small piece of red cabbage will be ok :)

He does have loads of herbs, but a lot die down over winter, so I just want a bit of a variety of fresh fruit or veg to supplement his diet, but he already has a wee slice of apple each day and a chunk of banana as hos weekly treat, so don't want to overdo the sugary fruit.
