I’m wondering what everyone’s go to staple veggies are to give their bunny! I want to change up my buns diet and find something healthy for her to have everyday that she enjoys!
I've been told as long as the vegetables are in rotation and in moderation, it's fine. I feed mine dandelion greens one week, mixed with other veggies such as fennel and cilantro and then its one week off them. Then the next is lettuce, bok choy, and spring greens, and rotate again.Watch the calcium level tho. Remember parsley, dandelion greens, rocket, clover very high in calcium. Too high in calcium, can cause renal failure and death.
That sounds great. From my personal experience as an bunny mum and from discussions with my rabbit savvy vet, it can only be after continued high intake of the course of a few weeks or other signs like urine turning white. This excludes young rabbits (up to about a year) and pregnant rabbits, who need higher calcium intake intake.I've been told as long as the vegetables are in rotation and in moderation, it's fine.

Whew, and here I had a minor panic attack when I read your response. I’m still a new rabbit mum myself, but thankfully her urine has been normal.That sounds great.

Sorry didn't mean to scare you. ♥ it is just a good reminder for all us rabbit parents to remember. But also remember it does take time....to build up. I learned the hard way. Had an old rabbit with bladder sludge with very white urine. Lots of vet expenses. She pulled through it, only to have bad respiratory tract infections on a off for the remaining 1.5 years of her life and me having to let her go.Whew, and here I had a minor panic attack when I read your response.

That’s so heartbreaking, I’m so sorry to hear that happen to you.Sorry didn't mean to scare you. ♥ it is just a good reminder for all us rabbit parents to remember.

Now I'm really scared. I was looking up about my rabbit's pee recently because his pee was thick and white. What caused the thick white pee for your rabbit and should I be taking my rabbit to the vet. It's been a week or so since then.Sorry didn't mean to scare you. ♥ it is just a good reminder for all us rabbit parents to remember. But also remember it does take time....to build up.

Sometimes winging it is the best way to learn. Experience csn often be the best teacher at times.That’s so heartbreaking, I’m so sorry to hear that happen to you.
Trixie came into my life unexpectedly and so I did so much Googling on how to care for a rabbit (mainly from HRS’s site) and just been winging it the best way I know how.
