Important to know!

Slowly introduce unfamiliar plants or amounts into the diet to prevent digestive problems.
This is especially for animals who, up to this point, have been given fresh food in rations. This is because they tend to eat too fast and in too large an amount. Usually the migration works with many small portions given separately over the course of the day. Over time you should slowly increase the volume of each portion.

Vegetables

Root vegetables are high in calories. They are good if you need to fatten up your rabbits. They are good as a winter food. Overweight rabbits should be fed low calorie vegetables.

Unsuitable vegetables: Eg. bulb plants (onions, chives), legumes (beans, lentils, peas), raw potato, eggplant.
Oxalic acid: High amounts promote kidney problems & bladder stones.
Solanine: High amounts can cause circulatory problems, nervous system problems & gastro-intestinal problems. Found in capsicum, potatoes & tomatoes.

Flatulent cabbage plants are unsuitable for rabbits that are fed commercial dried food!
Lettuces are often sprayed & polluted with pesticides. Remove the outer leaves before feeding. Do not feed the stem becauses it is high in nitrates.
