Growing veggies and herbs for rabbits

[CiaraPatricia]

Hi, I was thinking of growing some herbs and other veggies for my buns (and guinea pigs). I was thinking just a few large pots of stuff, some carrots and herbs, maybe some lettuces. Does anyone here do this and would you recommend anything that is good to grow, in a small space preferably. Thanks

My Dad grows a lot of stuff, but we have quite a large vegetable patch in the garden (which the dogs love to dig up :/).
If you're looking for a small space, why not just grow a little pot of herbs? Rabbits LOVE herbs- parsely, basil, dill, mint, sage etc.

Thanks, I'll try them. My rabbits will hopefully like a few new snacks

Yeah they'll go crazy for them. Herbs have such strong flavours, and buns love that!

Hi Patricia (or Ciara?), Here's a great page with information about growing vegetables and herbs in containers. They even tell you how many plants to grow in what size pot. And of course all the other info on watering, sun light, etc.

I just bought a bunch of lettuces and parsleys.

I just bought some Italian and curled parsley to plant in pots and grow them on the patio. I'm excited!:hyper:

Thanks for sharing that link, Hilde!
