oh and in pets at home they were feeding them light coloured lettuce which i thought was a no no????
Stan gets a carrot in the morning and at night! He also gets fresh greens everyday, brown bread and parsley twice a day and pellets and some days he gets weetabix!

To be on the safe side i wouldnt feed any lettuce x

re: Rabbit Foods - Whats Safe and Whats Dangerous

lol you have to remember stan is a very big boy and still growing.

Miffy normally gets something green and leafy like broccoli leaves or cabbage.
half a celery
some basil, parsley, rocket, water cress etc (really cheap and easy to grow at home)
a bit of carrot
a handful of grass

then to mix things up a bit
a tiny bit of apple although she loves pears more i guess there sweeter
some tomato
broccoli heads
tiny bit of pineapple or pineapple core
tiny bit of melon

a few raisins after a grooming sesh (she loves them big time)

Ooo I shall have to try weetabix!

My two go mad for strawberries but they only get them on special occassions as one of them gets a bit porky if she eats too much fruit.

No.

Anything from the onion family is potentially lethal.

Nothing from a bulb.
