Mini Rex rabbits eat the exact same diet as all pet rabbits. The only thing that changes is portion sizes (smaller rabbits eat less food). See the related question below for info about a healthy diet for your Mini Rex.
The best vegetables for Mini Rex rabbits - and all pet rabbits - are dark leafy greens. All other vegetables and fruits are only okay as a treat (a bite or two is enough!).
Some good leafy greens to feed your Mini Rex:
- Beet tops, Chard
- Mache
- Carrot tops
- Basil
- Chervil
- Cilantro
- Dill
- Fennel tops
- Mint
- Oregano
- Parsley
- Sage
- Thyme
- Cucumber leaves
- Spinach
- Dandelion
- Celery leaves
- Boston lettuce
- Chicory lettuces (aka escarole, endive, frisee, radicchio)
- Green/red leaf lettuce
- Romaine lettuce
Always introduce new foods to your bunny carefully. A sudden change in diet can make a rabbit sick! Also, individual rabbits can have bad responses to foods that are fine for rabbits in general. So, stick with one new food at a time - wait a week or so before the next new food. Start with only a bite or two on the first day, then slowly increase the portion size. Watch for signs of ill health like gas or diarrhoea.
Many rabbits also enjoy crucifers, but these greens can lead to gas. Gas can be serious, even deadly, in rabbits. If your rabbit is okay with these greens in moderation, that's fine; but if your rabbit is sensitive to gassy foods, then avoid them.
