How much of what?

[new_bunny_mom13]

Hey guys, this seems to be my favorite thread on this forum. I did read where you gave a person a list of all the fruits and veggies they can and cannot have. But what I am wondering is how much of the veggies and herbs do I give them? I saw the fruits were 2 tbs max. The other question is ugh....woah I'm having a massive brain fart. Oh ok found it, the other question was I found many different websites with different veggies on it. How do I know which one to go with?[align=center][/align]

There really isn't a set amount. I believe the HRS recommends 1-2 cups per 5 pounds of body weight. Some rabbit can tolerate more while others do better with less. The amount depends on the rabbit, what veggies you are giving and your budget. I give 1-2 large romaine leaves, about 1/4 of a bunch of parsley and cilantro and some bok choy. That is for each rabbit and I give it 3-4 times a week. You can really give as much as he will eat and you can afford to give.
What veggies you feed depends on your rabbit. Mine don't really like peppers, so I don't feed them. The really like bok choy, so get that. Your best bet is to try some different ones and see what your rabbit likes. I would start with lettuce, parsley and cilantro.
Remember to introduce new veggies one at a time. Don't give a huge salad with a bunch of different veggies all at once.
