Insects are not a part of the rabbit diet. Possibly, as it grazes, a wild rabbit might accidentally chew a worm, but if so the rabbit would probably try to spit it out. Rabbits are herbivores and can't digest animal products; pet rabbits should be fed a vegan diet. See the related question below for more info about a rabbit diet.
What sort is rabbits best food?
The majority of your rabbit's diet should consist of timothy hay (not alfalfa). They should have unlimited access to it at all times. Fresh veggies (especially dark green leafy ones) are excellent for your rabbit and should also make up the bulk of your bunny's diet. Fruits are great for snacks. Leafy greens such as romaine, dandelion greens, endive, parsley, cilantro, basil, peppermint leaves, carrot tops, beet tops, radish tops, collard greens, and escarole are good, as well as vegetables such as carrots, celery, and broccoli. Kale and spinach can be fed in limited amounts. Generally, one heaping cup of vegetables per five pounds of body weight can be fed per day. Introduce new vegetables gradually, one at a time. If any diarrhea or intestinal upset is noticed, discontinue that vegetable. Treats such as apple, pear, raisins, melon, papaya, or banana can also be fed (about a tablespoon a day). You can also feed your rabbit 1/8 -1/4 cup of pellets depending on their size. Pellets can be an optional addition to your bun's diet and under no circumstances should it be the primary food you are feeding your bunny. Answer#2 A rabbit that can not get out into nature and eat the foods it needs for a balanced diet deserves the best balanced diet we can give it. That is a medium protein rabbit pellet fed according to rabbits size once or twice a day. Full feeding a rabbit will cause obesity. (full feed is feed in front of them 24/7.)Feeding a rabbit a cup of greens a day will surely give it diarrhea and will also limit the amount of nutrition it is getting. The above named greens ARE good for bunnies as a treat ONLY. Consult the related link below for accurate feeding instructions. Having timothy hay before a rabbit 24/7 is a great idea, good for them and alleviates boredom.

Rabbits will eat any number of things (I knew a little boy who fed watermelon to his rabbit) but I wouldn't recommmend it. A rabbit should be fed a balanced diet of rabbit pellets.

Can you feed your rabbit on just vegetable?
No. See the related question below for more details and helpful links about the rabbit diet.Rabbits should be fed a diet mostly comprised of grass hay, the simple stuff called timothy hay. Alfalfa hay can be used as a treat, but is too high in calcium for regular feeding. Hay should make up the bulk of your rabbit's diet, and should always be available to it.Rabbit pellets also need to be a main part of their diet. However, stay away from the brands that contain little treats and seeds mixed in with the pellets.Fresh vegetables and some fruit make nice treats, but should be fed only from 6 months on, and then in small amounts, and introduced one at a time to a bunny's diet. Carrots fed in small amounts is good for your bunny as it contains vitamin A, but be careful, carrots contain a lot of sugar. You do have to be quite careful with vegetables and avoid those which can cause gas or bloating. Cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli are not a great idea. The reason you have to be so careful is the fact that a rabbit cannot pass gas or burp. This means that feeding foods which produce gas can result in bloating, pain, and even death.Sudden dietary changes can upset a rabbit's digestive system, resulting in sickness and diarrhea which can cause your rabbit to die VERY quickly. Rabbits have VERY delicate digestive systems. It is really best to stick with timothy hay, & rabbit pellets!

What should you do for E?
ABSTRACTTwenty five (25) rabbits of mixed sexes with an average initial weight of 0.8kg were used to determine the effect of feeding rabbit with maize replaced with cocoa industrial waste diet on economic of production. Five (5) experimental diets were formulated such that cocoa industrial waste replaced maize at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% levels. The result showed that maize replaced with cocoa industrial waste in the diet of rabbit had no effect on growth performance but reduced the cost of production. Rabbit could be fed with maize replaced with cocoa industrial waste diet at 50% -75% level of replacement. This will reduce the competition between man and rabbit on maize consumption and equally reduce the cost of production.
