Grass is good for rabbits and so is dandilions and dandilion leaves. You have to be careful when buying dried out grass as it can cause their bowels to block up.

How does tender grass help the jackrabbit?
First Answer: Because if there tummy hurts they eat grass. Another answer: The person who wrote the answer above is thinking of cats. You can't just assume that's what's true of one animal is true of another, especially when they're so different from one another! Grass helps rabbits and hares because it is one of the main foods they eat. Rabbits and hares eat grass and leaves, mostly. By eating these foods, they stay alive and keep their digestive systems working. Tender grass is sweet and tastes good to rabbits and hares - it's a bit of a treat, because it's not as healthy for them as tough grasses and leaves, which are high in fibre and very good for digestion and dental health.

Why do rabbits like grass?
Wild rabbits like grass because it's sweet, nutritious, and high in fibre. Pet rabbits like fresh grass too, but it's not as good for them as hay (dried grass), because fresh grass can have parasites on it, and dried grass is higher in fibre. Other from grass, wild rabbits eat other things high in fibre, like twigs and woody weeds; because pet rabbits don't eat these things as often as wild rabbits, hay is better for them than fresh grass. Hay should be available in unlimited amounts (just like grass is for wild rabbits) so that pet rabbits can "graze" on and off all day long (just like wild rabbits do -- grazing is a natural rabbit behaviour, and all pets are happier and healthier when they're allowed to engage in natural behaviours). See the related question below for more info about a healthy pet rabbit diet.
What do you feed a wild bunny?

Do rabbits eat hay?
Yes, hay is excellent for rabbits! Hay is a great way to keep a rabbit's teeth healthy (they keep growing, and need to be worn down by something!) and digestive system healthy (hay is high in fibre), and a great way to keep them entertained and occupied (rabbits like to graze). Rabbits should have 100% 24/7 unlimited access to fresh hay. Fresh hay is greenish (some varieties more than others), sweet smelling, no mould or moisture, and low dust. Avoid hay that's been sitting on the shelf for months. Good hay for adult rabbits is grass hays like timothy, brome, orchard grass, meadow grass, and oat grass -- although oat grass is a little high in sugars and shouldn't be offered too often. Legume hays, like alfalfa, are not good for healthy adults. Alfalfa is an excellent hay for young rabbits (under one year old), nursing rabbits, pregnant rabbits, and some rabbits who are underweight or have been very sick and need the extra protein and carbs.

Timothy hay (a kind of grass hay) is best as a staple for adults, whereas alfalfa hay is good for young and pregnant rabbits. Adult rabbits can eat other varieties of grass hay, too (like brome, orchard grass, meadow grass), but legume hays (like alfalfa) aren't good for them.

Do hares eat cud?
No. Only ungulates (cattle, antelop, deer) eat cud. Basically, they eat grass, but they cannot digest grass (no mammals can.) So they developed a system of outsourcing the job to somebody else. They have symbiotic bacteria in a big pouch in their stomach. When they eat grass, the grass goes into the pouch. The bacteria eat the grass and multiplies enormously. Then the ungulates would belch out the lump of bacteria and chew it again. That is cud. It is high-protein, rich in minerals and very good food. Rabbits simply do not have symbiotic bacteria pouch in their stomach, so they do not eat cud. Interestingly, the Bible (Levictus) wrongly described that rabbits chew cud.
