Bunny salad and other delights

I love making bunny salads for my rabbits. I usually start out with a basket and fill it with leafy green's, I'll add sliced veggies and a little bit of fruit. Of course you can't forget bunny croutons which to me is a little handful of Cheerios. Of course my buddy Chester's favorite thing is a little box of raisins, he can rip through a little box faster than a kid with a candy bar.
Chester digging in!!
Of course Chester and Manny always have unlimited amounts of fresh hay and water, I use timothy hay because it is lower in calories and calcium than alfalfa. What kind of the vegetables is good for your rabbit? - Broccoli - Carrots - Carrot tops - Spinach - Kale - Endive - Turnip greens - Romaine lettuce - Mustard greens - Collard greens - Dandelion leaves. I will also give fruit such as apple slices and banana. It's fun to watch Chester eat cherries he always leaves the pit's, which is a good thing. Anyways to wrap it up there is such a wealth of information on the web that if I have any doubts I just turn to my computer. I would love to hear from other bunny owners out there and tell me what you feed your rabbits because they always say it's good to know!!

  1. I feed my bunny "Timothy Toppings" - Timothy Hay mixed with flowers and herbs. Also, some pellets and daily vegetables (1.5 cups) of romaine lettuce mixed with parsley or cilantro. For treats, his favorite is Veggie Puffs, slices of apple or banana and carrots.

  3. My bunny, Bunny, who is 4 is kind of picky. He likes kale and carrots, sometimes parsley, and sometimes raddichio. He won't eat any type of lettuce. For fruit he likes pears, apples, pomegranite seeds and sweet cherries.
    I recently got two younger rabbits, Umber and Sienna. I haven't found anything they won't eat so far. I think they were quite starved when I got them. They are doing great now though!
