To get your rabbit used to eating grass offer small amounts to start with. Grass can cause digestive upsets in rabbits that are not use to it, in the wild baby rabbits would start eating grass at 3 weeks of age and domesticated rabbits are brought up on hay and rabbit mix. Remember to always pull the grass up, and never feed grass clippings as these can cause fermentation in the guts.
You can safely give each rabbit 1 tablespoon of non-leafy greens and 1 teaspoon of fruit per 2 pounds of body weight every day. Outdoor plants that bunnies can eat as treats include non-toxic mushrooms, bell peppers, carrots and flowers such as roses, hibiscus, dandelions and pansies. The next time you eat fruits like apples, mangoes, apricots, melons, berries or bananas, feel free to share a few bites with your bunnies.
