  Hey everyone
  
  Wondering what are some of the common greens/ salad mixes or anything that accounts for the veggie & fruit portion of bunny diets that I can give buns on a more regular basis. Bunz already gets s mixture- a little less diverse in the winter due to seasonal veggies at the market. But I’m wondering what are some items I can give her multiple timed a week that I can find at the grocery store- soon the farmers markets.
  
  Thanks

  I give Ophelia spring mix veggies every day.
  
  I have an herb garden and she gets random clippings from that throughout the week as well- I have basil, mint, lavender, sage, oregano, and rosemary.
  
  I give fruits only 3 times a week. She really enjoys banana (obviously!), and dried cranberries.

  Here are 2 lists of veggies and fruits that are good for rabbits. They tell you which ones should be fed less often and which can be fed more often.

  I don’t feed any lettuce as me and my vet have talked about how they are to watery and cause Benji to have some stomach issues. instead I feed spinach as a substitute. what Benji gets on the daily is usually (it changes sometimes) is 1-2 handfuls of spinach and about 4 or 5 smalls strips of ether carrots or red pepper. occasionally he gets some Swiss chard.

  This is my go-to basic list I choose from. I often get more variety, but this the bread and butter.
  
  I aim for 2 things from the 75% category and 1 from the 25% group.
  
  ~75% should come from this group:
  Romaine or Red leaf lettuce
  Dandelion
  cilantro
  fennel
  mint
  carrot tops
  
  ~25%
  Spinach
  kale
  chard
  beet tops
  parsley
