spring mix?

Question
I bought a spring mix veggie package with baby spinach, baby lettuces, baby greens and radicchio. I wanted to make sure that all these are healthy for my bunny before I give it to her. Thanks!!!

Answer
Dear Raeanne,

I'd avoid the spinach, but everything else is okay.  Even if it's pre-washed, be sure to rinse well.  Many pre-washed, packaged vegetables have sat in the bag long enough to grow harmful bacteria.  So it's always best to wash it again, whether it's you or the bunny who's going to get the salad.

:)

Hope that helps.
