Re: Important information for new rabbit owners

What about info on their teeth? I found this:


Dental Problems – rabbit’s teeth continue to grow throughout their life, at a rate of 2-3mm per week. Rabbits require a high fibre diet to ensure the teeth are evenly worn and to prevent overgrowth. If the teeth are not worn down, they grow incorrectly leading to discomfort, abscesses, anorexia, etc. Indication of dental problems may be saliva around the mouth, on the chest or front paws, an inability to eat or teeth grinding.

I found it on here.. Russel's Guide to Rabbits @ www.petcentreonline.co.uk

It's actually quite a good link

Re: Important information for new rabbit owners

The russels guide to rabbits link isnt working properly. I think the first bit is missed off

Re: Important information for new rabbit owners

the beechwood vet site says kale and spring greens shouldnt be fed daily due to high calcium. Other places reccomend those. It also says carrots are to be fed daily but i thought they were fattening?

conflicting info all the time


what do you feed daily??

Re: Important information for new rabbit owners

I normally give a few inches of celery, a broccoli florette, then something leafy - greens, spinach, rocket, basil, parsley.

(I once gave Miffy a small leaf of savoy cabbage for a few days in a row and she stopped eating and I had to rush her to the vets, I cant be certain it was the cabbage but I dont risk feeding it to her now)

then as a treat thin slices of carrot adding up to about an inch, or a raisin, or half a grape or a tiny bit of apple or pear or pineapple. George also loves brown bread Miffy wont touch it tho.

ill second that!!! everything i read is like this. one thing will tell you one and the next will tell you another its so annoying.

if they are meant to eat 80-90% hay does that mean that i should ignore him when he wants his greens and wait for him to eat his hay? we wouldnt want to starve the lil fella
