What foods do wild rabbits eat? Wild bunnies prefer tender young green plants and high-protein vegetation over fibrous dry growth. They usually eat twice a day: morning and night. Wild rabbits in captivity need grass hay, pellets and leafy greens such as collard greens, watercress, Swiss chard, broccoli and kale. Wild bunnies, particularly very young ones, should never be removed from their nests, as this drastically shortens their chance of survival.
What to Feed Your Rabbit. Large, unlimited amounts of fresh hay should be offered daily. Young bunnies should be introduced to hay as soon as they can eat on their own. Mixed grass hay or Timothy hay is preferred because it is lower in calories and calcium than alfalfa. Use a good quality, high fiber alfalfa or timothy based pellet as a small part of your rabbitâs diet. Feed a minimum of 1 cup vegetables for each 4 lbs. of body weight. Select at least three types of vegetables daily.
