As part of a healthy diet, rabbits should have a daily "salad" of dark, leafy greens. To ensure a balanced mix of nutrients, and to keep the rabbit interested in food (imagine if you ate the same food every day!), you should offer a wide variety of salad greens and rotate them regularly. In a single day, try to use at least three different kinds of greens in the rabbit's salad; the next week, rotate them out and offer different kinds of greens; and so on. See the related question below for more info and helpful links about the rabbit diet.
Your rabbit should have a "salad" of dark, leafy greens every day. A basic guideline is 1 to 3 cups for a 6 pound rabbit. It's recommended to serve a rotating selection from a wide variety of different greens, for the sake of your rabbit's entertainment, and to ensure a balanced selection of vitamins and nutrients.
Other vegetables, like celery and broccoli, should be considered treats. Too many treats can make your rabbit sick. A few bites of treat foods a day is enough for a normal, healthy rabbit.

Rabbits don't need carrot every day. Carrot is high in sugar and it's a treat food for rabbits. (Carrot greens are another matter -- they're super healthy and they can be a staple in the rabbit's "salad." See the related question below for more info about the rabbit diet.) The House Rabbit Society recommends no more than 2 tablespoons of treats (like carrot) per day for a healthy, normal 6 pound rabbit.
Rabbits should eat pellets and Timothy hay (found at most pet stores) as the main staple of their diet. A rabbit under 6 pounds should eat about 1/2 cup of pellets. A rabbit under 10 pounds should have about 1 cup of pellets.
Fully grown rabbits should have an unlimited supply of hay (but rabbits under 4 weeks old should have Alfalfa hay).
Rabbits' diets should also be supplemented by fruits and vegetables, about 1 cup combined per 5lbs of rabbit per day.
There are three types of vegetables, when it comes to feeding rabbits: "salad" greens, treat vegetables, and dangerous vegetables. See the related question below for more info about the rabbit diet.
Rabbits can eat a "salad" of dark, leafy green vegetables every day -- some examples are Romaine lettuce, green carrot tops, dandelion, and basil. A common guideline is 1 to 3 cups worth every day for a normal, healthy 6 pound adult rabbit. There are many different greens that count as "salad" greens, and it's a good idea to serve a wide variety: that way, you serve a balance of nutrients and vitamins, and you keep the rabbit interested and entertained. (Imagine eating the same thing every day: boring!)
"Treat" vegetables should be limited. Some vegetables are treats because they're high in sugar or carbs, like carrots; fruits also fall in this category. The House Rabbit Society recommends no more than 2 tablespoons of sugary/high-carb foods per day for a normal, healthy 6 pound rabbit. Other vegetables should be limited because they're indicated in gas (which can be serious in rabbits), like broccoli. Don't serve too many "gassy" vegetables -- a few bites a day is fine for most rabbits.
Dangerous plants should be avoided entirely. Tomatoes, for example: the fruit itself is okay, but the stems, leaves, twigs, etc. are toxic. See the related link below for more info.
You can have a relative or friend take care of your rabbit. Some pet stores offer animal boarding services, so they could take care of it. Make sure you write a list of how to care for your rabbit to give to the person who will take care of it. Here are some things you should list: * How much hay to feed it * How many fruits or vegetables each day * What kind of veggies or fruits * How many pellets you feed it * How often to clean the bedding * How often(if needed) they should brush the rabbit * How much bedding to put in * How much exercise the rabbit needs each day * Where you exercise your rabbit
Too many fruits can make a rabbit sick. Fruits are optional treat foods in a rabbit's diet. The House Rabbit Society recommends no more than 2 tablespoons of fruit a day (or other treats) for a normal, healthy 6 pound rabbit.
A rabbit will 'cat nap' all day long. They are nocturnal animals and will stay awake most of the night.
It depends on the rabbit's size and personality if he/she will eat it slowly or fast. Carrots are high in sugars and starches and should be limited in a rabbit's diet as a treat food. Carrot greens are excellent and can be included in the rotation of daily "salad" greens, but carrot itself should be limited: The House Rabbit Society recommends no more than 2 tablespoons per day of treat food (including carrot) for a normal, healthy 6 pound rabbit. See the related questions below for more info and helpful links.

A 12 year old should have at least 4-5servings of fruits and veggies a day. Each serving should be the size of a baseball.(which is about 4-5 cups)If the 12 year old plays a lot of sports and is active they should have at LEAST 5 cups of fruits and veggies a day.
A rabbit's diet should be made up of 3 different things. 1. pellets - they are cheap, anywhere from $.30-$2 a lb depending on quality however the average rabbit should only get 1/8 - 1/4 cup a day 2. timothy hay (not alfalfa hay) - a 48oz bag lasts my 2 rabbits about 3 weeks and costs about $15. Rabbits need to have unlimited access to hay daily 3. vegetables - depends on the vegetable. I typically buy my rabbits carrots with the greens on them and parsley and I usually spend about $6 a week for the 2 of them. Rabbit should get 1-2 cups of fresh veggies each day. Please google for a list of okay veggies since not all of them are rabbit friendly.
5 fruits and veggies a day
twice a day.
One! It will keep the rabbit doctor away.
According to the food pyramid, we should eat 3-5 veggies a day and 3-4 fruits.
