Do rabbits eat hay, straw, or alfalfa? - Brook-Falls Veterinary Hospital

Great question. I mentioned alfalfa hay for the baby ones and then grass hays, but they don't actually eat straw. It can be good for them to lay on in a straw bed in some circumstances, but they're not going to eat that.

They're herbivores, so we don't want to feed any meat to our rabbits.

What fruits can my rabbits eat? - Brook-Falls Veterinary Hospital

As long as it's very small amounts, maybe once a week as a little treat, they could have little pieces of banana or apple. We really want to keep the fruits to a minimum.

What vegetables can rabbits eat? - Brook-Falls Veterinary Hospital

Lots of vegetables, like leafy greens, are really good. You can do small amounts of higher-sugar ones, like tomatoes, carrots, and cucumbers, but leafy greens, cilantro, romaine, and red and green leaf lettuce are all good ones.
