Can rabbits eat kohlrabi

Answer 1

Yes, they can, but in very limited portions. Kiwi and other fruit, like banana, are not the best for rabbits. Rabbits should eat mostly hay, with some pellets and dark leafy greens daily, and water. Fruit in general can upset a rabbit's digestive system, possibly leading to G.I.Stasis (a sickness that will kill rabbits if not treated immediately). It's best to avoid fruit, and give more veggies instead. Only use fruit as a treat. Even many veggies should only be used as a treat. Fresh leafy greens like Romaine lettuce, carrot tops, and basil leaves can be eaten on a daily basis, but most other vegetables (like carrot) should be considered a treat. There are many plants (fruits, veggies) that are toxic to rabbits so always do research first. See the related question below for more details.

Answer 2

This question is about the semi-aquatic plant Ipomoea aquatica which is also known (in English) as Water Spinach, Water Morning Glory, Water Convolvulus, Chinese spinach, and swamp cabbage; (in Thai) as Phak bung; and, (in Malay and Indonesian) as Kangkung or Kangkong.

According to the link below (Cambodian Centre for Livestock & Agriculture), Ipomoea aquatica is safe and healthy for rabbits - particularly the stems, which are high in fibre. Fresh greens are only one part of a balanced rabbit diet. See the related question below for information about helpful links.

When trying a new plant on your rabbit - even if it's known to be generally safe for bunnies - always be careful because rabbits can have allergies or intolerances. Start with a very small portion (a single bite or two), and only serve it with plants you know for sure your bun is fine with. Then wait a couple of days, serving only well-known plants, and watching your bunny's health closely (see related questions below for more information). Repeat the previous 2 steps over the next couple weeks, gradually increasing the portion size. If you notice any ill-health in your rabbit, be ready to bring her to the vet and bring some of the plant with you for the vet to see.
