Is it okay to feed my rabbit cabbage?

I used to feed my bunny pellets and timothy hay but, lately it's just been pellets and cabbage leaves from my garden. She seems to love the cabbage and her stool doesn't look any different.

Is this okay?

Your pet rabbit needs a limited pellet diet ....but it needs hay also! Unlimited amount of hay to help aid in digestion. Of course veggies are good too!! A good site to go to is

www.pet care tips.net

At the top of page, click small %26amp; exotic pets. Then scroll down a bit and you'll find "All about pet %26amp; wild rabbits"...click on it and there's a whole list on rabbit care... what they can eat,medications, grooming etc.
Reply:Yes, cabbage is perfectly fine to feed a rabbit. However, if you DO decide to feed her lettuce, make sure it is not iceburg lettuce, as that is not good for the rabbit. Although, feeding the timothy hay is very good for the rabbit's intestinal track, as they have an enlarged cecum that requires foraging and the consumption of rough materials. However, because of this enlarged cecum, colic is a pressing matter (as it is with horses that have the same intestinal track) and therefore any diet change should be done as a transition and not too abruptly, or it may shock the system.
Reply:cabbage is excelent for a rabbit it is highly recommended for rabbits along with chinese veges as long as its not lettuce because that can give it diarreohh and eventually it will die
Reply:cabbage is just as good for it as any other rabbit fod.
Reply:yes! rabbits love vegetables* =]
Reply:yes i have a rabbit as well. Cabbage is fine but if you have a choice lettuce would be better. Cabbage tends to cause gas in animals and humans and will most likely give your rabbit diarrhea. Actually any greens you give your rabbit will most likely give them diarrhea, but it is good to switch up their diet every now and then. But who knows, rabbits are different like people, some stomaches have no problem, while others do. I would feed him a little at first to see if any non solid feces are a result:)
Reply:of course it is ok! have you forgotten that rabbit eats carrrots? and of course carrot is vegetble, and so is the cabbage! i think you are worrying too much. dont make life difficult! have fun with your bunny!
