  What are the best greens to feed buns? Please list of stuff that you use. I got a 3 month old male French Lop, Dallas, on June 16th for my birthday (turned 16) and I have looked up on the internet what greens to feed him but it seems like every site is saying something else, one says use *insert random veg. here* and the other says don’t! I figured it’d be best to ask people who have had rabbits, what types of food they feed, besides the obvious hay and pellets. Also, is there certain stuff I shouldn’t feed him, because he is still young?
  Anybody who could help will be loved for life! I’m going out this next week with my mom and wanted to get a list of all the greens to buy for him while we are there!

  welcome here! on the page that knowltons posted, you’ll see that there are different diets for babies (under 7 months). there is also a link to a comprehensive list of veggies. make sure you introduce one at a time so you can see if it causes an upset tummy. eventually you’ll want the bunny to be eating 3 or more different veggies a day… at least 2 cups per day.
  
  what kind of pellets and hay are you feeding currently?
  
  oh. and we love bunny pics. so please share if you have some. is a french lop a very large lop?

  yes, binky bunny’s greens list is a great one. you’ll probably find that there are greens that are more often available & at better prices as well as findinf out what your bun likes to eat. i started out with spinach because i like to eat a lot of it myself and eventually tryed out kale and parsley. but my main greens are romain and red & green leaf lettuce because they’re frequently on sale. i’d recommend to start out feeding just a small bit (like 2 or 3 baby spinch leaves or half of a big kale leaf) of any new green and one at a time like beks mentions. some rabbits just can’t tolerate some greens even though its on the list. good luck!
