What does the cottontail rabbit eat?

Well, of course rabbit food, but as treats DO NOT give it carrots, a lot of people say they're good for them, but cotton tail rabbits have more sensitive stomachs, and they will get very sick if given carrots, i suggest Lettuce as a nice snack, you can give it carrots, but I'd say only 2 a week, and give him/her a break from carrots if it starts to puke ^-^
