Quick reference House Rabbit Society's suggested daily vegetable and fruit

I created this today to use as a go-to reference guide for the bunny room wall and to take out shopping with me and thought I'd share in case it's useful for anyone else :)

That's a nice guide. My buns would be enormous if I let them have that much fruit though (they're pretty enormous as it is :oops:)

Rabbits can have lettuce but not Iceburg. The high water content means they will just drink less.
 
If going by one cup = 225ml , so 4 x 2kg rabbits would be nearly 2 litres volume of green leafy veg!! I'd better get picking! I tend to use an old plastic mixing bowl and fill with a mixture of green leafy weeds and herbs, so I guess that is about right, but I rarely give mine fruit, apart from the occasional grape or strawberry.
 
That's why I asked as we have loads of mushrooms growing wild here through autumn, but I have never seen as much as a nibble taken from one!

I shall look forward to more replies!:D
