* High in calcium. Although high calcium vegetables contain less digestible calcium per volume than alfalfa hay or alfalfa based pellets, it is important to note that excess dietary calcium, along with other factors, may cause bladder stones or sludge in some rabbits. In addition, consuming vegetables that are high in oxalates in large quantities or on a daily basis may cause crystals or stones to form in the kidneys.

Swiss chard and bok choy. Those are two (among others) that often just sit there in the cage being walked on. But they devour chicory and dandelion.


Thanks for the lists. I will make this a sticky thread.

I've never given swiss chard, it's Dill many of my bunnies don't care for. Everyone loves Bok choy here. And Dandilion is a favorite of all the bunnies

Maybe I will try bok choy again.

Before I got critters the only veggies I could recognize were brocolli and asparagus!

I actually used a hand blender on some parsley and dandelion today, in water. And I drank it all! A big nasty dark green bitter sludge. But I am surely healthier.

Isn't dill an herb used in cooking??

Oh, yes. Dilled carrots--yum!
