ok so this isnt food but.....when you give your buns a nice new digging box or cardboard castle type thing, they tend 2 chew the hell out of it and erm, I dont exactly see him spitting it out!!! so they must eat it. . . . . .is this ok? and i do mean plain cardboard, not shiney or card with inks on etc

I've been told that feeding your rabbit lettuce can be very dangerous :/


Since, finding this out, I havent fed my two newest rabbits lettuce, but all fo the rabbits Ive had before my current two never had a problem with eating it, they were always healthy bunnies

But what a great thread!!
Whenever I feed my bunnies new things, I'm always worried what they can be fed and what they can't.
My baby rabbit is VERY fussy. She doesn't eat anything but rabbit food, she won't touch grass, treats, bread, chocolate...
My other one absolutely loves it all!!

I have a copy of the feeding guide from Rabbit Awareness Week (grabbed one from pets at home). According to this guide the following kinds of lettuce are ok...
red leaf lettuce
red cabbage
romaine lettuce

plus, apple, asparagus, banana, basil, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower leaves and stalks, celery, chicory, cucumber, dill, fennel, grapes, green pepper, kale, mint, orange (peeled), oregano, parsley, red cabbage, savoy cabbage, spinach, tomato, turnip, watercress.

Bad things include: apple pips, potato, rhubarb (leaves and stalks), tomato leaves, locust pods and beans.

The guide also warns about flowers and plants which are dangerous and should not be in the garden if you allow your rabbit to roam around... these are...
autumn crocus, begonia, black nightshade, busy lizzie, buttercup, carnation, chrysanthemum, clematis, cowslip, geranium, hemlock, laburnum, laurel, poison ivy, poppy and yucca.

Hope this is of use!

great thread, your time has been put to good use.
Probably the most useful thread i've seen so far, well done
