food for a bunny

Question
hello,
Can a bunny eat any part of a garlic? ( this includes the flower the stem and the root)
Do you have a list of good foods and bad foods for a bunny?

thanks  

Answer
Dear Ami,

Garlic and onions should generally not be given to non-human animals, as many species are sensitive to compounds in these plants, and can develop a dangerous form of anemia from them.  Humans are one of the few animals that are not affected this way. Go figure!

You can find a list of things for a healthy rabbit diet here:

Hope that helps!
