What exactly are meant by spring greens?

Spring greens = Spring cabbage

but it is dark green

Oh okay, thanks for clearing that up!

All of ours eat spring greens as the staple part of their diets I do not feed lettuce of any type as they get messy bums with it - I don't feed kale, brocolli or spinach for the same reasons. I have found that a couple of our buns are ill if they eat brocolli :shock:
Our normal diet is: Spring greens, celery and celery leaves, bit of carrot, bit of apple (red not green), parsley (little bit due to the calcium) and corriander. They sometimes get a treat with Pak Choi but Billy can't eat it 'cos he gets the mucky bum with that :?
Ours get this diet (plus loads of hay and super forage) twice a day and they all seem alright with it

Mine love cabbage leaves.. either green cabbage or savoy cabbage. Neither suffer with runny bottom so seems to be ok for them.

OK we're getting there!. Can they eat any amount of coriander then? might mix it with the cabbage :?

Cabbage can cause gas and other stomach problems and that is why it shouldn't be fed, or if it is it should only be in small quantities.

I've heard the outer leaves of the cabbage are better and less likely to cause trouble, as they are less likely to cause gas.

i think you just have to judge yourself as it depends on the bunny! as with anything new you have to feed in small amounts, then see how it goes. dusty was so smelly when i gave it to him! so hes never had anymore :lol: i'll stick to broccolli and carrot :wink:
