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.
Grass hay is rich in Vitamin A and D as well as calcium, protein and other nutrients. Eating hay promotes healthy teeth and gastrointestinal tract and should be available to your rabbit at all times. Varying the type of grass hay or mixing hays is a great idea (such as timothy, orchard, oat hay, brome, etc).
