Many foods are "safe" for rabbits, but not all of them are healthy. When thinking about what to feed your rabbit, it's easier (and safer) to consider what they should be eating, not what they can or can't eat. See the related question below for more details and helpful links.
Rabbits should eat a diet of mostly hay, with some pellets and fresh leafy greens (e.g. mint, carrot greens, celery greens) daily. Any other foods (e.g. bite of carrot, 1 blueberry, slice of banana) should be considered treats and strictly limited.
Do not feed rabbits chocolate, crackers, or any human foods, or anything that isn't widely recommended for rabbits.
Rabbits can eat some leftovers like fruits and vegetables, but it's important to make sure they are safe and not toxic for rabbits. Foods like chocolate, caffeine, and sugary or salty items should never be fed to rabbits. Always research which foods are safe for rabbits before offering them any leftovers.
Yes, rabbits can eat parsnips as an occasional treat. Parsnips are safe for rabbits in small amounts, as they are high in natural sugars and should not be a staple in their diet. Always introduce new foods gradually to avoid digestive issues.
I was told NOT to feed them Lettuce and cabbage. My lop eared rabbit just loved peaches. When he got through with one, all you would have was a very dry pit and he would have an orange beard. iceberg lettuce...it will give it diarrhea
I would say that a few safe foods for rabbits and guineapigs to eat would be: * carrots (thin and small, shredded) * lettuce * rabbit food from the store * guineapig food from the store * most other vegetables that are small and thin Hope this helps!
Yes, dog food is bad for rabbits as these foods are designed for carnivores, not for herbivores. Keep all dog and cat foods out of the reach of your rabbit. See the related links for more details.

Yes, rabbits can eat nasturtiums. These flowers are not only safe for rabbits but also beneficial, as they are rich in vitamins and antioxidants. Many rabbits enjoy the taste of both the leaves and the blossoms, making nasturtiums a delightful addition to their diet. However, it's always best to introduce new foods gradually and ensure they are free of pesticides.
Rabbits are not endangered, but if everything happening now with them continues, they will be. :'(
Meats, and foods they can choke on
Rabbits eat with their mouths.
rabbits are great pets, as well as chinchillas, both are easy to handle, but chinchillas are mainly wild animals, unlike rabbits; so rabbits may be more "safe"
The acids found in foods, such as citric acid and lactic acid, are safe to eat because they are components of the foods, and the foods are safe to eat.
