Question
I was just wondering what different fruits and vegetables would make good treats for my rabbits?
Thanks!

Answer
Hi Kendra,

to be honest, most fruits aren't really that great for their teeth - the stickier they are the worse they are.  Better to stay with veggies.

Good veggies are: green leaf lettuces like romaine and green leaf and red leaf lettuce.  NEVER ICEBERG.

Flat italian parsley is a favorite among rabbits.

I tend to give a very small piece of carrot (not too much, it is higher carb/higher sugar).  Maybe one baby carrot a day max.

There are other good options, I'd suggest going to the House Rabbit Society web site (www.rabbit.org) and search their articles on nutrition and diet.  Use their search engine and use the terms  nutrition, diet, vegetables.
