The rabbit’s digestive system is much more sensitive than ours, so it is wise to stick to a few select foods when deciding what to feed your rabbits. Although this list isn’t complete, it gives a good overview of what rabbits can eat.
Basics
- Water
- Rabbit Salt Lick
- Grass (be careful of weeds however, as some can be harmful)
- Unlimited Hay
- Dry Food
Fresh foods should always be included in a rabbit’s diet
Fruits and Veg
- Apple (only once or twice a week)
- Artichoke
- Beetroot
- Brussel Sprouts
- Carrot (only once or twice a week)
- Cauliflower
- Celery
- Chicory
- Kale
- Peas
- Pea pods
- Spinach
- Sunflower Seeds
Wild Greens
Note that if you’re giving your rabbits wild greens they must not be sprayed with any pesticides, weed killers or fertilizers.
- Bindweed
- Clover
- Dandelion
- Knapweed
- Plantain
There is a very long list of wild greens that rabbits should avoid, so if you’re not 100% certain in your plant identification skills, it is best to stick to the veggies and hay.
