Best Answer

Yes, rabbits can eat beet greens. Beet greens are a good plant to include in the rotation of daily "salad" greens. See the related question below for more details about a healthy rabbit diet.

Another answer: They can but it will probably cause gas. Don't give rabbits lots of them at one time.

A response: Beet greens (also known as chard) is not commonly known to cause gas in rabbits. Too much fresh food is unhealthy, though.

I have read one article which says yes but two which say no. I would err of the side of caution and not feed the leaves but you can feed the beetroot bulb ok (it may make the bunny pee red though) See http://www.houserabbit.co.uk/resources/content/leaflet_pdfs/going_green_oct_06.pdf (link working 17/9/08)

They will regrow but it depends how much the rabbit has eaten. If it ate a lot, the beet will need more time to grow back healthy and strong.
