Greens

[wendymac]

I feed Romaine lettuce, and usually a bite or two of watermelon or other fruit (whatever we have at the house). I usually buy cilantro or parsley, but always forget to take it to the barn and it ends up getting thrown away. I'm moving our small dorm refrigerator down to the barn, to keep the veggies in...then the crew can get more of a variety.

I wish my fridge was bigger! The sales on greens today was crazy! So many buy 1 get 1's! Spinach, spring mix, romaine...all buy 1 get 1!

Romaine, green leaf lettuce and parsley are my daily greens.

Hi mine doesnt eat any greens at all.
She's a female nd about 8mths old not spayed.
As of now her health is ok. Should i stop her pellets and throw in vege instead.

We have a garden so they get a mixture of spinach, romaine, red leaf, green leaf, and buttercrunch

Nope, never stop pellets. You want to add veggies to her diet. Some romain in the morning, afternoon, a little snack in the evening will make your bunny a lot more happy and healthy

I keep hearing about how bunnies love cilantro - but I HATE it, don't even want to smell it. So, Rascal hasn't tried it yet. Oh well

 

[MyBabyHasPaws]

I dont do cilantro either. It smells and I can taste it in ANY dish no matter how much you put, tastes like soap.. YUCK!

Harriet just turned 6 months old so she hasn't started getting greens regularly yet.

I have given her parsley though and she goes mad over that. Next to bananas and banana chips, it's her favorite.

I had cilantro left over from the salsa verde I made this weekend and I've been wondering if it was safe for buns. After seeing this thread I gave her some and she approved.

Oh I loooove cilantro! Lol. Agnes doesn't like it. But I could smell it all day...yum...

Definitely don't stop pellets but it is important to add veggies to her diet. Also, make sure she has unlimited access to hay. You can google lists of okay veggies for bunnies. And of course this thread gives alot of good examples too

Agree with Lisa, I wouldn't stop the pellets. Just cut down on pellets and suppliment with veggies. Also always give unlimited hay.

With veggies though, introduce one at a time slowly. This makes sure bunny bellies accept them and really like them.
