Snowpeas are safe for rabbits to eat and many rabbits like them, but they shouldn't eat too much at a time. Rabbits should eat some "salad" every day that consists of certain dark, leafy greens and vegetables. Owners should serve a variety of greens from a wide rotation, but new foods should always be introduced gradually as sudden changes in a rabbit's diet (even changes for the better) can lead to illness. See the related question below for more details.

No, they can't. Aside from their special rabbit pellets, rabbits should only eat hay and fresh fruits and vegetables. Rabbits shouldn't eat peas at all: they're too high in sugars and proteins. Edible pea pods (like sugarsnap peas) are fine in moderation, as a treat (one bite or two every few days is okay); but other peas are not good for rabbits. See the related question for information about a healthy rabbit diet, with sources and helpful links.

Can you put your bunny in the snow?

Mini lops, like all pet rabbits, can play in the snow, but there are risks involved, especially with house rabbits. The information below applies to all rabbits, including mini lops. House rabbits are not acclimatized to the cold, so they shouldn't stay out in the snow very long, and they should be allowed to go back inside freely or to seek shelter somewhere -- otherwise, how can you know that they've had enough? A 10 or 20 minute run through the snow should be fine. When the rabbit is back inside, dry it off as much as possible and then keep it in a warm area away from any drafts until it's completely dry and warmed up. Do not let your rabbit eat snow. Rabbits used to the snow (outdoor rabbits) know not to eat it, but house rabbits don't always know better. Eating snow leads to illness in all animals, especially rabbits because their bodies are so small. Outdoor rabbits can be in the snow so long as they always have free access to a protected, warm shelter where they can go to warm up when they get too cold. Make sure the rabbit's water source doesn't freeze -- check a few times a day. Dehydration is very bad for rabbits; and if the rabbit doesn't have water, it might eat snow which is very dangerous.

How do rabbits hunt for their food?

Rabbits don't hunt for their food, they're herbivores. Wild rabbits simply have to go above the ground to eat grass and other things. It's harder for them to get food in winter though because the grass is covered with snow. Pet rabbits get fed by their owners and don't have to look for it and have a much easier time in winter.thank u Special:Contributions. This was a big help.Ovi_Fan_8

What do taiga rabbits eat?

first answer: snow different answer: The above answer is incorrect. Mammals can't actually eat snow because it freezes the belly, slows digestion, causes hypothermia, and generally makes them very sick. If you have a pet rabbit and you let him out to play in the snow, make sure he doesn't eat any! If you ever get lost in the woods, gather snow and melt it to drink the water: don't eat the snow! All rabbits eat vegetation (plants) -- rabbits are herbivores and vegan. Different species have slightly different diets. The Arctic Hare is one species that lives in a snowy climate, and it eats woody plants and, when it can find some, also leaves, berries, grasses, and flowers and flower buds. It finds the woody plants by smelling and digging under the snow.
