i have a year old mini rex and mini lop mix bunny. when do i give him greens and how much?

what fruit can they have?

when and how much fruit can i give them?
 
They can have a variety of fruit but I would only give them a couple of slices a day, since they're mini's. I would give it to them when ever you give them there feedings. Or when your trying out a new trick with them, acting cute etc...

Hope this helps
 
For the Greens:

Lagomorph Library Bunny 101: Quick List of Safe Foods

Pick one green from that list, and offer each bunny a handful, once a day for one week.
Keep an eye on them to ensure their tummies are ok.

Next week, pick another green from the list.
Do the same process.

By doing this over time, you will figure out which veggies they like and which ones their bodies handle well.

Rabbit Safe Fruit (from the same list)
Same process as the greens. Maximum amount - 2 tbsp, or 2 slices of fruit daily, per bunny.
Fruits are very high in sugar, so this is a healthy way to feed fruit.
Carrots are also very high in sugar, and should be treated like fruits.


Depending on availability, the following list may suggest some more variations :)

As always, provide UNLIMITED hay and water :D

Hope you find this helpful!
