  My bunnies are now old enough for vegetables but they seem to be scared of the vegetables i put out for them. So far ive bought them kale and mint but they just avoid them.
  
  How do i get them to start eating their veggies?

  Just keep offering them Some bunnies can be fussy about trying new things, with Bandit I had to offer fresh bok choy about 5 days in a row before he would even try it. Once he tried it he liked it

  Romaine lettuce is a good go to. Mint has a strong scent, so basil is sometimes more preferred.

  How long do you leave it out for them to eat before giving up? I ask because for the first 3 days that I tried romaine lettuce, they wouldn’t eat it at first. I left it overnight for them and by morning it was gone. On the fourth night, they ate it right away
