What do European wild rabbits eat?

Answer 1

What any wild rabbit eats is subject to what's available in the environment in which they live. Most commonly, rabbits eat lots of greens and leafy flora in the spring, and dried grass and leaves later in the year. If food is particularly scarce, they may even eat bark, twigs, and shrubs.

Answer 2

European hares are primarily herbivorous. During the summer, they eat grasses, herbs and field crops. During the winter, they eat twigs, buds and the bark of shrubs and young fruit trees. They have been known to eat their own green, pellet feces to recover proteins and vitamins. Two to three adult hares can eat as much as one sheep.
