How to make rabbit food for your rabbit?

Question

I have a bunny rabbit and i need suggestions on how to make rabbit food.

ok my rabbit won't eat carrots and some fruit. He is vry stubborn.

Answer 1

well one day my dad was the lawn more he say a baby rabbit we feed it oatmeal and milk it got big enough we had to buy rabbit food but if under i say 6 months sit with oatmeal

Answer 2

It should be natural, and it normally consists of hay, find wild timothy and chicory and also oats (preferably green oats) the more natural form it is in, the better, im not sure if instant oatmeal is a good idea raw or not.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy-grass
Wild foods, found in regular yards can be used in it. But make sure their not stepped on or with pesticides, a lot are edible, but be careful. Edible good plants are dandelions, clover, both the flowers and leaves are edible, even to humans!, spring onion (wild onion), all of which I have in my NYC yard. Maybe some green oats, a few seeds, (not too much) plus some dried veggies as a stable food, remember that rabbits are herbivores.
contrary to popular belief, rabbits cannot live on normal human veggies, they dont live on salad! Salad foods are good as a treat but so much watery stuff causes diarrhea, http://www.burns-pet-nutrition.co.uk/Rabbits.htm
unlike dogs, rabbits should eat a similar diet as they do in the wild. Which as mentioned before, normally consists of wild grasses and hay, you know, dry grasses like that (you may not need to dry them unless you want to store them for a long time, those grasses are naturally less watery than our vegetables). Give them a generous amount of grasses, based on weight and size, dont overfeed them! however grass is very low in calories, so they still must eat alot of it. veggies are for treats, and also you can buy store brand rabbit treats.

And also, never buy rabbits rodent treats, they're very different, although most rodents can handle rabbit treats, the opposite is not true.

Answer 3

Believe it or not, bunnies, even though they are known for liking carrots (Bugs Bunny), they don't like carrots. That's a stereotype everyone thinks is true. It's not. They don't like carrots!! Sure maybe they'll take a few nibbles but then they'll leave it to find something more interesting. If you want to surprise your bun, you could take its daily food, roll it up in peanut butter and wait for it to harden. It's fun watching them, try to get at the ball of food, and it shaves down their teeth. You could also give them a few fruits and veggies but not too much. My bunny will eat anything you put in front of him. He's supposed to weigh 2-3 pounds it looks like he weighs 5!!! Lol, but that's not an answer to your question. Try going on different sites provided by Google. Well, I hope I helped.

Cheers!☺

Answer 4

you can give em raw oatmeal, plain applesauce (my mom bunny loves that stuff). sometimes it takes some time for them to get used to it though.
theyll eat stuff from outside too. you can give em all types of weeds. dandelions, clovers..umm i forget what else but your best bet is to look it up on ARBA or some other credited rabbit site. yeah definitely look it up because you have to watch out for the poisonous plants. green leaves and sometimes theyll eat the crunchy leaves.
lettuce (NOT romanian thats poisonous)
apples
a little of tomato..most bunnies dont like that because its too sour but my mom bun'll eat that.
also you can buy rabbit treats at the petstore. make sure it lists rabbits under the animals its for though.
they love grass...just dont give em a whole lot. some but not an enormous amount.
alfalfa (can buy at the store)
hay
straw
those mixed rabbit diets can get at the pet store. it has like rabbit pellets, corn...that kind of stuff.

Answer 5
