What’s ok ??

Hi there we bought our bunnies in December when they were only babies. (Born 12 Oct 17) the breeder we bought them off advised us of a diet, which consisted of unlimited hay and water, pellets morning and night, and kale and carrots 2 times a week.

Ive messaged the breeder to see if we should be broadening their variety and giving them something different now they are getting older and she has said no to just keep to this diet

These are our first bunnies and I’m seeing that people give their rabbits fruit and vegetables as treats

Just wondering what you all do and what’s ok and not re foods ??

Thank you

Hi welcome to the forum :wave:

The links which Jane has provided should give you a good idea of what to feed. Your rabbits are certainly old enough now to have more of a variety of foods in their diet. When introducing any new food though, just feed a small amount to start with and only feed one new food at once. You will then be able to monitor your rabbits to see if any new food is leading to any digestive problems. Once you find that the new food is tolerated OK, then you will be able to provide a larger amount.

A lot of us here try to provide as natural a diet as possible for our rabbits and so, especially during the Spring and Summer months, we feed wild foods/forage. Dandelions and Bramble leaves are very popular. Fresh cut grass (not lawnmower clippings) can also be given and is usually well-liked, but again only feed a small amount to begin with.

Also, if you have any questions about diet (or anything else rabbity), just ask and one of us will try to help

Thank you that’s very helpful
