It is extremely important to understand which veggies are safe!
Did you know greens/veggies should make up 10% of your rabbits diet? You can find a list of safe fruits and veggies at the link provided with this post. We have noticed many people tend to buy spring mix from the grocery store to provide greens for their rabbits. This is fine and can be convenient, but we do recommend that you be aware that a large portion of spring mix is made up of spinach. Spinach is safe for rabbits but should only be fed occasionally and not daily. The reason for this is spinach is high in oxalates and calcium. This can lead to urinary sludge and bladder stones in bunnies if fed too often. This is very uncomfortable for rabbits, requires prompt treatment by a veterinarian and can be fatal. We recommend limiting intake of spinach and other high oxalate vegetables to occasionally to lower the risk. So if you feed spring mix, only include the spinach part of it occasionally. 😊
