It can really be any of the bunny safe veggies but I’ll vote for Kale or Cilantro. My bunnies love both of them.

My bunnies ADORE kale. When I feed the bonded quartet veggies – they will all dig through, find a piece of kale, and run with it to different corners. It’s hysterical!

I say kale or endive!

Nope!!! Kale can be controversial sometimes. It’s not high in oxalic acid. But it can be high in calcium so usually we only feed about 1/3 amount of veggies as kale. Just as a precaution – but my bunnies have eaten it as 1/2 their salads before and we’ve never had any problems. Excess calcium is excreted in the urine though. It’s not a problem unless your bun is prone to urinary problems.

That would work fine – unless he has a bad reaction to it (no different that any vegetable) you’re fine. It’s more of a problem in old rabbits when their urinary tracts aren’t what they used to be All my buns get call (5 of them!) and none have a problem with it.

Here is a great House Rabbit Article explaining it –

Oh that doesn’t sound overweight at all. I may be incorrect but I believe Holland Lops tend to get up to around 4 lbs. I believe 3-4 is very normal for a Holland.

I just had to giggle also at you saying he’s big! All mine are between 2-5 lbs. And when I volunteer at the shelter with the 10+ pound rabbits I’m reminded how small my little guys really are!

I want a large rabbit also but we don’t have the room for one either! I want a Flemmie soooo bad and have vowed to get one when we move to a bigger place and can have an official “bunny room”!

Lots of members on here have dogs and buns that co-exist peacefully. Like any animal they need a proper introduction and supervision.

I’d also at some point try snow peas and pepper

I can’t get ANY of my buns to try pepper, Snowytoshi. Make sure it’s only bell peppers though! Nothing hot!

I’ve never tried snowpeas but dang… they turn their noses up at everything! LOL. Maybe I’ll hide pieces in their salad next time.

It used to be recommended that kale be fed more sparingly but nowadays its considered okay everyday

I usually chop off the bottom stems because my bunnies don’t eat just the stem without leafy parts attached.

I wanted to add that I used to buy kale by the bundle but in my area it’s cheaper to by a pound of it chopped/bagged than it is to buy a smaller bundle.

Something to keep in mind if kale is expensive in your area if he ends up liking it

Paige turns her nose up at pepper too  They all love snowpeas though!

I would see if he will eat the bottom stems. I kept tearing all the leaves off the stems and giving them the leaves…. and finally realized they liked the stems to one day when I gave them to them so now I don’t even bother

The BB fruit/veggie list says “Grape fruit, leaves, and vines” so I’m not sure if that means only the leaves and vines? Or if the fruit is okay too?

I think it means like Grapes (their fruit, leaves, and vines). I don’t think it’s okay to feed grapefruit. It’s so acidic!

I missed the space in between “grape” and “fruit”. Haha. Thanks for clearing it up TL!

I say that because if you look at the other fruits listed… it lists the fruits then, fruit, leave, stem, ect.

For example:
Blackberry fruit, stems, leaves
Grape fruit, leaves, vines
Blueberry fruit

See what I mean?

Haha! Sorry – I posted the above to demonstrate what I was trying to say not realizing you had already commented!

Oh! That makes a lot of sense. I see what you mean.
