0 Comments

 
Fruits, and especially veggies, are very important to feed your bunny. They provide tons of different vitamins and nutrients, and bunnies absolutely love them! 

However, there are some vegetables & fruits that should definitely be avoided. Some may even make your rabbit seriously ill, and if fed in high amounts, kill them. We all want whats best for our furry friends, so read below what vegetables and fruits are safe for bunnies, and what ones aren't! If you are interested in learning more about a bunny's diet, visit our Bunny Care Info page OR our Bunny Checklist page (to find out our favorite brands/types of food and other products)!
