Root Vegetables 

It’s no secret that rabbits love carrots. Something we often see in popular culture. However, it’s essential to know that root vegetables such as carrots, parsnips, turnips, and beets are foods with high sugar content. In addition to providing them with a lot of energy.

It’s best to offer them a very small portion from time to time. not on a daily basis they often work best as a rare reward. 

Shoots and Leaves 

It’s highly recommended. We add green leaves and shoots to our rabbit’s diet on a more daily basis. Unlike fruit or root vegetables which store sugar shoots and leaves have a very low caloric intake and are also high in fiber. This will benefit your bunny’s digestive health also providing their body with the nutrients. Their bodies need many vegetables. You give your rabbit parts which we often throw away.

We find root leaves such as carrot or radish endive arugula lamb’s lettuce watercress and romaine. We should point out rabbits should avoid eating iceberg lettuce. The plants that you can offer occasionally meaning one or two times a week are celery broccoli chard spinach cauliflower artichoke red cabbage asparagus and celery.  There’s also the possibility of offering your rabbit dehydrated food.

Therefore dried fruits and vegetables contain more calories. And we provide more general information on how to care for a rabbit.

Wild Herbs

The diet of a wild rabbit is essentially made up of grasses and weeds from fields, forests, and mountains. This explains why your rabbit should eat unlimited hay. A good initiative to enrich. Your rabbit’s diet is to offer them other variants of herbs. Which you can buy in stores, collect in the wild or grow yourself if you have the means. If you collect them from the wild. Be respectful of the environment. Cut the plant without uprooting it. So it can grow back. Also, you should take into account that the plants you collect need to be from areas free of contamination.

Finally, always wash them before giving them to your rabbit. Otherwise, they could become intoxicated. In the same way do not collect grass from parks and areas, where other animals tend to urinate and defecate. The herbs that you can offer your rabbit include mint peppermint rosemary sage, thyme fennel dill, coriander parsley basil, and clover among others.
