the dietary handout my vet gave me stipulates a daily minimum amount of greens and makes no mention of a maximum.  i’m speculating here, but i wonder if the maximum is only dictated by how the bun’s stools are?  so if they eat so much that they get soft poops then ease back until poops are normal.  maybe thats not a good way to experiment tho? 

ya for bunny grass! my buns love it too. I don’t have an exact method for measuring the amount of grass they get, I buy pretty small pots of it. My guess is it compacts down pretty far, so it likely isn’t a huge amount of it there.

It’s a good idea to offer a variety of veggies every day, so maybe let them chomp for a while and take it away.
One time I bought a bag of pre-cut wheatgrass and no one would eat it! apparently the plants taste much better.

ps – HRS suggests 2 cups of veggies for 6 pounds of bunny.

It was my previous understanding that wheat grass AKA cat grass shouldn’t be included in the leafy green veggie category.  Its a product that they graze on, therefore, they naturally won’t overfeed themselves, unless they have some type of eating disorder

W/ that thought, I might suggest mantaining various stages of cat grass in pint size containers.  That way when it gets gnawed down you can give it a chance to grow back up by replacing it w/ another container of cat grass.  A rotation of cat grass!  If I had the time & didn’t have a black thumb, that’s probably what I would do.

That looks like a pretty nice sized pot that they have there :~) I’ve never grown it but I’ve bought it at the supermarket and given it along with the buns other greens.

i got that before but i had to throw it out not long after because it started getting yucky.  i don’t know if it would be better if you grew it yourself.  i guess i think along the lines that it doesn’t cost very much and it’s easy enough to buy.

Well it looks like you have done a great job of growing it; it looks so green and a good growth to it.

Angoragrl, you inspired me to go out and buy wheat grass! I bought a small container of it at the pet store, and Cadbury LOVES it! She nibbled a bit, then hopped around, nibbled a bit, then hopped around, etc. I took it away after a little while, though, since I want to make sure she doesn’t have any problems with it. But so far, so good.

Thanks for the great idea, guys!

Same here, I am trying to find it here in Aussie land but having some trouble.

You can also use Oat Grass.  Cosmic Catnip sells the seeds for Cat Grass.  Its a US brand but can be bought at many pet stores and/or online.  There’s also another company that makes a container and seeds in one container.  Its very easy to do.  My issue was that once I grew it, I often killed it.  Those in OZ, search for cat grass on line.
