  hi, im just wondering how slowly i should introduce new foods to my rabbit? i got some red leaf lettuce for her and cant seem to find anything on how much she should get at first and how much more i should give each day. is it okay to give her a full leaf of it if she seems to do fine with it after 3 or 4 days? or is that too much too fast? i just wanna make sure she doesnt get sick from it.

  How old is your bun? And how much does she weigh?
  
  I think you could prob start with half a leaf for a few days, then increase to a full leaf if she’s doing well with it (unless she’s very small). Wait a full week before adding any additional new foods.
