Everything should be given in moderation, be careful with carrots and apples as they have high sugar content.

Re: veg for rabbit

You probably know this already but introduce new veg very slowly. About the size of a stamp at first, and only one thing at a time so if your rabbit has a bad reaction you know what not to give next time.

Re: veg for rabbit

Vegetables can be an important part of a rabbit's balanced diet. For rabbits who drink little water, fresh vegetables can help to provide much needed hydration. It is important to realize, however, that some rabbits tolerate vegetables well, while others may suffer from gas or runny stools if they consume too many or the wrong kind of vegetables. Try to offer rabbits who tolerate vegetables well an assortment of vegetables daily. A typical daily serving of vegetables would be approximately 2 cups per 6 lbs ofbody weight.New veggies should be introduced slowly, even when your rabbit is used to eating fresh food. Start by giving your rabbit a small quantity of a new veggie, then check for soft stools, diarrhea or gas. A rabbit with gas may shift around excessively.
