Introducing Fresh foods

[Nela]

So... I want to do this the safe way. The breeder I got Maybelle from told me not to give her anything fresh until she reaches 4 months of age...

Is this the right age?

Should I wait longer?

What are the best foods to first introduce?

I have ideas but I'd really like to hear from others. It's like I second-guess my every move

Here's a link from the Library in Bunny 101 for safe foods:

Make note that adding a new food is to be done one by one, making sure each doesn't cause stomach upset. So, start w/ one, if they like it, monitor any tummy issues such as soft stool, the most common one, if this occurs, stop feeding it. Wait a few days and try something else, etc.
