What vegetables can i give to my rabbit?

There are a lot of vegetables but i didt know if its good for rabbits. Im afraid for them to have diarrhea. Because i lost my bunny, i feed her a cabbage and give her a water.. i didnt know that its not good to give water. Please help me....What vegetables can i give to my rabbit?
Generally, before six months, bunnies' main diet should be hay, water, and lucerne pellets. Some say you can begin introducing vegetables at four months, some say not until six months of age. Most importantly, when you begin to introduce vegies, you must do it VERY slowly and gradually - begin with just one slice or one very small piece of your chosen vegie or fruit, and make sure it doesn't give her diarrhoea over the next 24 hours before giving any more. Please see my own website, where I've written articles on this, at

Here's another explanation of what to feed at different ages -

Don't forget, ALL bunnies, whatever their age, should have access to hay 24 hours a day, and water 24 hours a day!





Also, NEVER give lettuce and NEVER give cabbage to rabbits - lettuce and cabbage are both very bad for rabbits, can cause diarrhoea and bloat which can kill them -

As you read through all the sites you will find that it is fine to feed your bunny lettuce. Most don't recommend feeding iceberg lettuce and introduce any new food slowly. Cabbage can cause gas in SOME rabbits, but not all, so if you do give it, start slowly.

You can basically give a rabbit anything tht grows from a garden:





*potatos


*carrots, etc.





Also, fruits:





*apples


*bananas


*grapes





Nothing acidic like orangesor grapefruits.

i saw doctor harry on tv giving these 2 ladies a rundown on the kinda treats to feed her pet rabbits! he suggested different types on seeds lo=ike sunflower seeds and bigger seeds he also mentioned corn on a cob and things like that to keep them occupied too
water is ok through a feeding drip - get rabbit feed - almost anything green that you can eat so can your rabbit

http://www.rabbit.org/care/veggies.html here is a list of veggies. Stay away from Lettuce... it has too much water in it and makes them sick.

Its called RESEARCH! you should have done all your research and stuff before you got the rabbit, you should always be prepared for a new pet!
Carrots duh!
I'm sorry your bunny died. It sounds like you are trying to figure out what to feed the new bunny. Bunnies can have a variety of greens and it is good for them. Many (that includes me) don't feed cabbage as it can cause gas. We do feed a different kinds of lettuce (NOT iceberg), parsley, cilantro, dandelion greens, arugula, and sometimes kale. Ours get their greens morning and night. They also need plain pellets, fresh water and hay. Fresh water is very important and we find ours drink more when it's in a bowl and they get fresh water twice/day.





Here is some diet info and you'll find lists of safe vegetables:

this link is also good and has great advice about what and how to feed your bunny based on age: http://www.carrotcafe.com








Rabbits must have unlimited access to hay. For bunnies over 1 year they shouldn't get alfalfa hay but should be getting grass hays like timothy, broome, orchard grass. We line the litter box with newspaper and top with hay. That gets ours in the box to use it and they eat hay, a win win.
You can give them: Carrots, Lettuce, spinach,
carrots, celery
