Here's a diet that gives your rabbits the treats they like and keeps them healthy:
After being around domestic rabbits for well over 45 years, I've finally figured out a diet that makes them happy while
Dried carrot tops
- rolled oats (okay in very limited quantities).
- Sweets (incl. chocolate), milk and milk products (no butter or cheese), potato

also maintaining a healthy gut. My rabbits no longer get upset stomachs and their 'output' looks a lot like what the
local Jack rabbits leave as 'presents' in front of my house. It's a very short list of items; here they are:
Timothy hay (unlimited supply)
Water (unlimited supply)
Dried apple (sliced thinly) - a few times a day as treats (do not feed them the seeds)
Dried carrot (sliced thinly) - a few times a day as treats
Timothy hay pellets - a quarter of a cup per day, per 5-pound rabbit.
Optional:
The secret to this is drying out the fruit and veggies, since too many fresh vegetables can unbalance a rabbit's
digestive system, resulting in diarrhea and even death. It's also important not to feed them too many pellets.
Dried fruit tree leaves are another option that most rabbits appreciate. Apple tree branches
and other safe tree branches make good chew sticks for rabbits.
NOT SO GOOD FOODS:
- Lettuce (too much will make your rabbit ill).
- Celery, cereals, pasta, potatoes, yams, parsley, and bread.
Rabbits should get little or none of these foods
BAD FOODS !:
chips (obviously), or anything that contains synthetic fats or refined sugar.
- Soy (rabbits can't properly digest soy or soy products).
