Reply:Grass,Grass,Grass- This should be the main part of a rabbits diet -ie 98%.They should have no more than 1 eggcup full of excel pellets per day. Veg wise leafy greens, carrot tops, chick weed,dandelions- Their is many weeds and different food stuffs which are safe for rabbits to eat.There is actaully a book you can get detailing all of this but im afraid i can not remember the name.The key is moderation-Not too much of one food stuff. You can offer fruit- but small amount now and again as fruit has a high sugar content this can rot there teeth. They also love wood from fruit trees-Make sure it has not been spryed with anything, they like to gnaw it and strip the bark from it.

Reply:I agree! I like to give my baby variety :]. I wouldn't like to eat the same old thing everyday lol.



Here are some more things you can add to your list!



Carrot tops, the green leafy part.

Parsley.

Oranges, skin and fruity part.

Strawberries, the fruit (as a treat) and green tops.

Silver beet.

Grass! Bonnie's favourite lol!

Celery, stem and leaves.

Watermelon NO seeds.

Corn on the cob (I don't know if you can give them raw or not, I always cook mine and give it to her cold.)

Spinach.

Cabbage (not too much though- just as a treat.)

Green peppers.



That's all I can think of off the top of my head... if you're giving her red apples try green or vice versa.



Also, you can get these things for birds at pet shops that you can give your bunny, they love them! http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/5299/... not necessarily that shape but you get what I mean :].
Reply:Alfalfa treats, Timothy Hay, My girl LOVES the flowers or the clovers, and she'll eat the leafs sometimes.
Reply:Parsley. it triggers their appetite. minimum cherries, how old is your rabbit? because rabbits cant eat green vegs and fruit as a whole diet. they need hay(main food source), and limit amounts of pellets. you are having a good idea, but thats not the diet of rabbits, rabbits are born in the wild to eat grass, hay. these helps flush out all hairballs that could get blocked in the intestines causing a infection. If able, feed timothy hay as main meal (timothy hay consists of all the fiber they need to flush their intestines). fresh vegs should be the next important, then pellets, treats and grain. please dont give fresh vegs to rabbits until 3-4 months because it can cause severe diarrhea, their intestines are really sensitive and can not cope with wet food.
Reply:If your rabbit is younger than 4 months, alfalfa hay should be available in the cage at all times. If older than 4 months, then timothy hay. My rabbit also loves romaine lettuce (iceberg is bad for the digestive system), basil, parsley, and chikory. All of these can be found in the fresh produce section at the grocery store. (Parsley is probably the cheapest).



As a special treat, I buy dried strawberries and cut them up into quarters, and give my rabbit a total of no more than 1.5 strawberries per day. Any more could make her sick. She loves this treat, and is even willing to do minimal tricks for them. :)
Reply:there r somegabiles they can eat
Reply:I know nothing about rabbits that doesn't involve either a stock-pot or roasting tin.

You have appallingly bad spelling skills, by the way.
