What fresh vegetables can rabbits eat?

Answer 1

Rabbits benefit from a daily serving of leafy green veggies (like dark-coloured lettuces, herbs, weeds, the green tops of root veg; it's good to rotate them for variety), but most vegetables (like carrot) are only good in moderation as a treat, and some plants are toxic or dangerous to a rabbit's health (like corn) and should be avoided entirely. It's important to research every vegetable, fruit, or plant that you want to serve you rabbit. See the related questions below about what veggies rabbits eat and what's a proper rabbit diet for more details and helpful links.

Answer 2

Feed the rabbit any vegetable except, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, squash, gourds, pickles, peppers, basil, parsley, paprika, and any rotten or wilted greens. These will all give the rabbit an upset stomach and will cause diarrhea.

Answer 3

All of the vegetables that rabbits eat should be fresh: nothing processed, canned, cooked, frozen, dried, etc. The only processed food they should eat is their rabbit pellets.

Dark leafy green vegetables are the best kind for rabbits. A salad of dark leafy greens is a healthy part of a rabbit's diet. It's best to rotate which greens you include in the salad, so your bunny isn't stuck eating the same things every day. All other veggies and fruit should be considered treats. Too many treats will make your rabbit sick, so a bite or two is enough.
