What you should feed them also depends to some degree on what they like. In general, rabbits shouldn't eat processed human foods, rotten or spoiled foods, seeds, nuts, dairy, meat products or byproducts, grains (with a very few exceptions), light-coloured lettuce, beans, tomato leaves, and dead grass, or processed sugars. Many vegetables, fruits, and rabbit foods are okay (at least in limited amounts), but it isn't recommended to experiment with anything else.
