What do bunnys eat?

Answer 1

Bunnies need a diet high in fibre to keep their digestive system going and to grind down their teeth. HAY is the biggest part of a rabbit's diet and the most important source of fibre (although many rabbits also like chewing on apple wood and willow twigs, and even plain cardboard, like the kind toilet roll inner tubes are made of).

In order to ensure your bunny is getting the right mix of vitamins and nutrients, you should also feed your rabbit some FRESH GREENS and high-quality PELLETS daily. Choose pellets and greens carefully: most pellets on the market are too high in protein and fat, and too low in fibre; and many plants are unhealthy for rabbits, even toxic.

Oh, and WATER, of course!

Healthy rabbits eating the above diet don't need vitamin pills or nutritional supplements; in fact, many such products can be unhealthy. An exception to this rule is digestive enzymes (such as in papaya enzyme tablets, or even fresh papaya or pineapple), which help keep a rabbit's delicate digestive system running smoothly. Either way, you should speak to your rabbit-savvy vet about your rabbit's needs before feeding it any supplements.

Rabbits have a sweet tooth and will enjoy the occasional treat. TREATS can consist of fresh fruit (like berries, peach, apple, papaya, pineapple, apple -- no seeds!), fresh carrot (a very sugary veggie), or whole oat groats. Treats should be limited to a couple of bites every couple of days or so. Grapes and banana are EXTRA sugary and should be extra restricted. Over-indulging in sweets can result in a variety of different health complications, even leading to death.

Another Opinion

Bunnies' Favorite Foods: Peaches, Bananas, Lettuce, Strawberries, Carrots (some bunnies won't eat carrots-like mine), Grapes (NO grapes until they are at least 3 months old), Apples, Wheat Crackers, Shamrock

What they have to have for nutrition: Natural bunny food, A bit of grass, Leaves, Clover, Water, Bunny vitamins, Bunny nutrition juice, (P.S. Bunnies can eat flowers like dandelions but too many roses, violets, African violets, etc. are bad for your bunnies)

Foods that are toxic to bunnies or they hate them: Chocolate, Sweets (A small bit of Jell-O is okay though), Gum, Onions, Velvet Grass (Note that it is not toxic but your bunnies will not eat it), Pizza, Chicken, Pepper, Salt, Eggs, Cheese, Anything rotten

Rabbits shouldn't eat tomatoes because they aren't good for rabbits and the vines and leaves are toxic.

They eat a variety of veggies. Most rabbits are picky about what type of food they eat and will show a sigh that they don't like it.

bunnies can also have some cheerios (breakfast cereal) for treats... and high fibre pellets required for bunnies and a little bit for adult rabbits.... thx..
