Cruciferous vegetables can cause gas in rabbits (these are vegetables in the cabbage family). For example:
- Horseradish
- Cress greens (garden cress, watercress, etc.)
- Kale
- Collards
- Chinese broccoli
- Cabbages
- Brussels sprouts
- Kohlrabi
- Broccoli
- Cauliflower
- Bok choy
- Rapini
- Chinese cabbages
- Rutabaga
- Mustard greens
- Arugula/rocket
- Radish greens
Also, a sudden increase in sugars or starches (as from fruits and root vegetables) can disrupt the flora in the gut and cause gas.
Some rabbits are more sensitive to gassy foods than others. Rabbits that are very sensitive shouldn't have gassy foods at all. Other rabbits are okay to eat these foods in moderation. The key is to pay close attention to your rabbit and get to know her responses to certain foods.
Always be ready to respond to gas with first aid and, if it doesn't go away within a few hours, by bringing the rabbit to a vet. Gas can lead to GI stasis (a serious, even life-threatening, condition.)
