What else do rabbits eat but cabbage and carrots?

Answer 1

Carrots are a good treat for rabbits, but they shouldn't be a regular part of the diet. Carrots are high in natural sugars and too many can make a rabbit sick. The House Rabbit Society recommends no more than 2 tablespoons per day of treat foods (like carrot and other veggies and fruits) for a healthy, normal 6 pound rabbit. Treats should be rotated for the sake of an interesting diet and a good mix of nutrients: carrot will get boring after awhile!

A healthy rabbit diet consists of lots and lots of hay, fresh water, rabbit pellets, and fresh dark-coloured leafy greens (like Romaine, dandelion, carrot tops, basil). See the related question below for more info and links.

Answer 2

Rabbits are vegetarians and can have a very wide diet. Pellets and carrots should be kept at a minimum. Adult rabbits who eat only pellets, can become overweight. Carrots, while good for buns, mush be kept in moderation as they contain a lot of sugar. Buns are sugar-holics. Once they get a taset, they will search for sweets.

Answer 3

nothing else

From Redneck Savant:

It is true that nothing else is as good for a baby rabbit as mother's milk, but rabbits can be notoriously poor mothers. Sometimes they become cannibalistic, others they simply refuse to feed their young.

If the mother is not feeding her kit you must separate the newborn from her and feed them by hand. Kitten Milk Replacer (KMR) is an acceptable substitute, but does not have enough calories for the babies. Add a tablespoon of cream to each can of KMR to help improve that. Use caution when feeding. Overfeeding is the leading cause of death in rabbit newborn. For the first week, an average rabbit breed (5-6#) needs only 5-10 cc of KMR - this may be given over 2 feedings if they don't take the whole amount at once. You double this amount each subsequent week, by the end of the third week they should be weaned.

If the young do not seem to be getting food, check the nose - it may need to be cleaned gently with the corner of a warm, moist washcloth. (They need to breathe through their nose to eat.)

One last caveat: Don't force the liquid down. You can fill their lungs and kill them yourself if you do. Be patient, kind, and caring - you WILL be rewarded.

Answer 4

Rabbits can eat a variety of vegetables such as kale, spinach, and broccoli. They also enjoy hay and grass as their primary food source. It's important to provide a balanced diet to ensure their nutritional needs are met.
