Rabbit Feed

Question
Hi, Can rabbits eat lettuce, if they can how much should I give them?

Answer
Dear Wayne,

Dark green, leafy lettuces are fine.  But avoid iceberg, which is pretty much nutrient free, and because of its high water content, can be quite high in pesticide residues if not grown organically.  
The amount you can feed will depend on the bunny (size, age, genetics, general health), but always add any new dietary item gradually, to allow the intestinal flora to adjust.

You can read about healthy rabbit diet and the MOST important dietary item, fresh grass hay, here:

Hope that helps.
