          Diet recommendations are based on weight.

          For an adult bunny:
          – Unlimited Hay and Water
          – 1/4-1/2 cup pellets per 6lbs body weight.
          – at least 2 cups of chopped greens per 6lbs body weight.
          Greens should be at least 75% leafy, no more than 15% non leafy, no more than 10% fruit.

          Brussel sprouts and carrots are considered non-leafy greens and should only be 15% at most of total greens you feed (approx 1 tablespoon per 2lbs of body weight per day).

          I would read the article below in full and then check out the list below it. It’s really a “must read” when it comes to the veggie part of a bunnies diet.

            I had NO idea Brussle’s sprouts were considered “non leafy”! Glad for the heads up…on the other hand my boy looks at me like I’m crazy when I offer him one. Me and my boyfriend love them but he cannot figure out why. lol
