Can Rabbits Eat…? The Complete Food Safety Guide
Rabbit digestion runs on hay and fibre — and breaks on sugar and starch. Check what is a daily green, what is a rare treat, and what is dangerous.
Safe in moderation
Sometimes — with care
Better to avoid
Dangerous — never feed
The golden rules of rabbit feeding
85% hay. Unlimited grass hay powers the gut and grinds the teeth. ~10% leafy greens: a packed cup per kg of body weight daily, rotated for variety. ~5% pellets. Fruit & carrot = sweets: 1–2 tablespoons per 2 kg per week, total. And the rule every owner must know: a rabbit that has not eaten or pooped for 12 hours needs a vet immediately — GI stasis kills fast.
