what foods do rabbits like?

Answer 1

My rabbit gets fed a pellet food as his staple. You're best not to feed mixes as rabbits are very prone to teeth problems and they will pick out the bits they like in mixes and leave the bits which may actually be better for them. You should also give them access to fresh hay all the time. My rabbit loves his hay. This also helps keep their teeth down.

As for treats, I get the ones that are a bar of seeds, nut and fruit for him to chew. You can give them a bit of plain popped corn every now and then (no butter or sugar or anything). Raisins, apples (especially the peel), dried apples (from the health store - keeps for ages), carrots, brocolli, cabbage, dried banana chips (health store again) or a tiny bit of fresh banana.

As with all treats they should be given sparingly. Be careful with too much fruit and veg as it can give them the runs due to their higher water content.

Hope that helps :)

Answer 2

Arugula
Basil
Broccoli
Brussels Sprouts
Carrots and carrot tops
Celery
Chard
Clover (Too much can cause soft stools , so fed a little)
Dandelion greens
Dark leaf lettuce (Romaine is best - Iceberg has little nutrients)
Endive
Kale - One of the best veggies that you can give them.
Mustard greens
Watercress

Rabbit pellets - grass hay-based pellets made from timothy are the best. Alfalfa-based pellets can lead to health problems over time so use these more as a treat not an everyday food.

You can also go to feed stores and get bags of Timothy, Rye, Bermuda, Orchard and some other types of grasses depending on what part of the country your in and what season it is. Feed lots of this to the rabbit. Again feed the Alfalfa hay as a treat only not as a everyday food.

Fresh fruits are also good.
Oranges and grapefruits - peels and flesh
Strawberries - Two of my rabbits loved these but the two I currently have won't eat any.
Melons - All types
Bananas
Apple slices - DO NOT GIVE THEM THE SEEDS - Poisonous!
Pears
Peaches

Answer 4

There's a good list of foods at www.rabbit.org There's also a more comprehensive list out there somewhere on the web, but I can't remember the site.

My rabbits favorite is radish tops and carrots... but I limit the carrots as they're sugary. Don't want a fat bunny!

Answer 5

Lettuce, Carrots, apples, strawberries and strawberry leaves, Alfalfa, Timothy hay, and Bell peppers are some of my rabbits faves. But make sure at least half of their deit is Rabbit pellets.

Answer 6

They love their vegetables.The usual being lettuce, carrots and some actually like broccoli. My rabbits love fruit too.They eat apples and I give them a treat that has seeds,yogurt and other natural stuff too. They love to eat hay and some grass.

Answer 7

Vegetables and fruits are great. Avoid lettuce for its lack of nutrients. A lil bit of treats are good at least from the store because they are high in sugar. A natural way is raisins, apples, pears and sometimes the cereal frosted flakes.

Answer 8

I feed my rabbit timothy, brome, and alfalfa mixed hay as well as free choice whole oats. By feeding whole oats as opposed to rolled oats, more nutrients are retained for a longer period of time. From time to time I give treats like carrots, raw potatoes, apples, etc. I spoke to my vet and he told me that it is very difficult for a rabbit to digest lettuce and it should be avoided as much as possible.

Answer 9

Rabbit food, carrots, lettuce, fruit.

Answer 10

I have to dwarf rabbits. Their favorite is apple, cabbage leaves and the green leaves from celery. They also like fruitloops cereal every now and then as a treat.
