I am a fan of bug’s bunny and ever since, I have it into mind that rabbit’s love carrots. But I am just wondering if there are other foods that I can feed a rabbit aside from carrots?

They like to eat hay, dandelion, fruit and vegetables.
But you should not feed vegetables which belly, like
cabbage. That's dangerous for rabbits, and they can
die of it.

Is it true, that rabbits usually don't like corn food although everyone thinks they need and like it ? I've once read something about it and wondered because there are so many different corn food types for rabbits in the pet shop. It would be strange if rabbits don't want to eat it.

I have heard something similar. This is what i heard
about those dry corn food :
1. Rabbits are vegan, which means they don't eat any
animal products. It sounds weird but those corn products
from the pet shop offen contain yogurt, meat and bone meal
and those things. And since rabbits are vegan they don't get
along with animal protein. It is not good for them.
2. If there's dry corn food withouth animal protein, one should
only feed it as concentrated feed. Not daily and not too much.

Thank you. That was really interesting. I never heard about it before. And when i see all the people buying tons of corn food for their rabbits i guess they never heard about it, too.

Phil, at the moment i can not find the
link where i got this information from. But
as soon as i'll find it again, i can give it to
you, if you are interested in it. Maybe it is
also interesting for Cessy, too.

Thanks for providing so much information about rabbits. I never thought that cabbage could be dangerous to rabbits. I thought carrots and other vegetables would always be ok for them.
