Drinking water that is fresh and clean, as well as high-quality hay and grass, should make up the majority of your House bunny’s daily diet. The digestive system of a rabbit need hay or grass in order to function correctly, therefore maintaining a plentiful supply is critical. Leafy greens and a tiny number of pellets can be used to augment the diet. Providing rabbits with root vegetables or fruit as a reward should only be done in limited amounts since they do not eat these types of foods in their natural environment. Always avoid feeding rabbits muesli-style food because it is bad for them and can lead to a variety of health problems in the long run.

Animals and Insects

House bunnies are herbivores, and they don’t eat animals and insects.

Plants and Fruits

Fresh hay should make up the majority of your House bunny’s food, and it should be easily available at all times for your rabbit. TIMOTHY, GRASS, and OAT HAYS are suitable for adult bunnies; however, alfalfa should be provided for younger rabbits. Adult House bunnies should not be given Alfalfa because of the high protein and sugar content of the plant. 

Hay is necessary for rabbits since it supplies the crucial fiber required for good digestive health as well as aids in the wear down of a rabbit’s teeth (which are always growing) to promote good dental health in the animal. In addition, placing hay at one end of a litter box will help to encourage rabbits to use the litter box because rabbits have a proclivity to both consume hay and poop at the same time.

When selecting hay, be certain that it seems and smells fresh. Choose hay that does not appear to be brown or rotten, and that does not smell like freshly cut grass. Hay should be stored in a dry place in a container that enables air to circulate to prevent it from becoming moldy. Purchasing hay in quantity from a local farmer is typically considerably more cost-effective than purchasing individual bags from a pet store.

Your rabbit’s daily meal should include a variety of veggies that are both nutritious and tasty. Pick vegetables that are fresh and free of pesticides when you’re shopping for them. Always thoroughly wash your vegetables before putting them in your rabbit’s food bowl. Feeding new vegetables in modest quantities will allow you to determine whether or not your rabbit will respond positively to them. 

It is not recommended to feed rabbits the leaves of houseplants because many of them are harmful to them. Visit the Sacramento House Rabbit Society’s hazardous plants page for a comprehensive list of potentially harmful plants. House bunnies also eat peaches, grass, dandelions, carrots, apples, strawberries, oranges, bananas, arugula, avocado, almonds, blueberries, blackberries, basil, bamboo, and bread. Additionally, House bunnies will eat broccoli, bell peppers, cilantro, clementines, cardboard, chocolate, cheerios, coconut, cranberries, mandarins, mango, nectarines, pumpkin, pears, plums, peas, parsnips, radishes, and raspberries.
