  Are baby carrots safe to feed bunnies? I like to incorporate a non-leafy green as part of Louie’s diet once or twice a week and I always have baby carrots around the house, but I wasn’t sure if they’re safe for bunnies; I heard they’re like a different carrot species or something ???

  Baby carrots are just like any other carrot.
  
  Here is the rule of thumb for how much to give according to the House Rabbit Society:
  
  NON-LEAFY VEGETABLES
  
  These should be no more than about 15 % of the diet (About 1 tablespoon per 2 lbs of body weight per day).
  
  Carrots
  Broccoli (leaves and stems)
  Edible flowers (roses, nasturtiums, pansies, hibiscus)
  Celery
  Bell peppers (any color)
  Chinese pea pods (the flat kind without large peas)
  Brussel sprouts
  Cabbage (any type)
  Broccolini
  Summer squash
  Zucchini squash
