Bunnies love, radicchio, endive, dutch carrot tops (occasionally), silver beet, spinach (occasionally), basil, parsley, collard greens, mint, mustard greens, , cilantro, mint, strawberry leaves, raspberry leaves, wheat grass, and dandelion leaves and flowers.

They need a good mixture of those veggies fed in relation to their weight. About 1.5 cups of vegetables per kilogram of body weight each day. Only a small amount of pellets, about three tablespoons. Ignore anyone who says rabbits need tonnes of pellets : my vet says no to pellets. They will make your rabbit fat and sick if you give too much. And they need unlimited timothy or oaten hay.

Also grass gives them gas, and rabbits can't fart or burp, so too much grass is a bad thing. Domestic rabbits are nothing like wild rabbits, as they've evolved differently. And rabbits do need to be protected from poisonous things as they do not know whether something is poisonous or not. They test their environment with their teeth. And of course, always have lots of clean fresh water for your bunny. And no iceberg lettuce! It gives them diarrhea.

As treats small amounts of fruits like strawberries, apples (but not the seeds, which are poisonous), Pears, cherries, blueberries, grapes and bananas. Definitely not too much, because sugar is bad for rabbits and can make them really sick. Fruit and pellets are junk food for bunnies.

There are so many foods that rabbits can't have that it's better to ask the opposite (what they CAN have) and go from there.

See the related questions/links below for more information.

An INCOMPLETE list of some things rabbits shouldn't have includes:

  • "Human" foods (processed foods)
  • Grains (there are some exceptions, but only in small amounts)
  • Chocolate
  • Nuts
  • Seeds
  • Tomato vines, stems, or leaves
  • Fruit (some fruits are okay as a treat, but not a regular part of the diet)
  • Alcohol
  • Marijuana
  • Drugs, medications (except those prescribed by a special "rabbit savvy" vet; one exception may be Simethicone but only when used properly and in the proper amounts and formula)
  • Beans
  • Corn (especially never fresh corn; milled dried corn is okay in small amounts, like as an ingredient in pellets)
  • Daffodil bulbs, tulip bulbs, and other flower bulbs
  • Pine, cedar, some other woods
  • Potato (especially never raw potato, or the eyes, shoots, or green parts)
  • Meat products, by-products
  • Dairy products
  • Peas
  • Tobacco
  • Yucca

Rabbits, like all herbivores, will not eat what is not good for them. In fact the only animals that habitually will eat what is not good for them, are people and dogs.

A small amount is okay for the rabbit, but it shouldn't be a treat or on their diet. I'd assume you to only give about an inch or smaller. Not very big. If you decide to give a rabbit a large amount and it decides to eat all of it, it can harm the rabbit. It usually doesn't digest bread.
