I would just give her enough to lure her intothe cage and no more than that. But parsley is safe for them, my ownbunnies love it. Just don't give her too much, that's all.

Also, I've always liked your name!

Parsley is just fine for a rabbit. Itis suggested that you give hem a cup of greens a day and that you haveat least three different safe greens. When we feed ourrabbits, parsley is one of the first vegetables we buy forthem. The coriander has the same thing to it.

Here is a website talking about rabbit feeding, it has both coriander and parsley mentioned

Hi varna!!

Coriander (aka cilantro) is fine for the buns. I used to give them a bunch of it every day.

Parsley has calcium in it and you want to give this in moderation. A couple of sprigs each night would be ok.

I also used to give my buns fresh basil. My bunnie Chippy used to smell like cinnamon from eating it. Mmmmmmmm

Abby and Valuran go nuts for fresh basil (I grow it). Chompers doesn't like it for some reason. The weirdo!

Here is a good link for you.

It is called ABC’s of Rabbit Safe Vegetables & Fruits

It is worth printing off, you never know when you may need to refer back to it.

I feed cilantro/coriander every day. They get parsley once or twice a week. They love both!
