My family has two rabbits (mini lops) in a large divided hutch on our pack patio. They each get a fist-sized portion of greens every day - parsley, cilantro, kale, etc. depending on what's on sale at the grocery store or about to be thrown out.
There's also a "treat" hidden in there somewhere. Sometimes that's a small baby carrot, sometimes it's a blackberry or raspberry, sometimes a piece of watermelon.
In addition to the above, they always have access to pellets, timothy hay, and water. If it's not wet out, we put them out in ~6' circular mesh pens to play for at least an hour each day.
They seem pretty happy with their lives, and are neither gaining nor losing weight. It's a far cry from the wire cages in an outbuilding where they spent the first couple of years of their lives for sure.
- zenexer 4y agoIsn’t kale one of the few greens rabbits aren’t supposed to eat?
- Ancapistani 4y agoIt's super high in calcium, which can be a big problem. We're usually feeding 3-4 different kinds of greens in each serving, though, and hay makes up the majority of their diet anyhow.
