  My new boy is about 15 weeks old. And according to the house rabbit society he should have been started to be introduced to veggies at 12 weeks, the problem is everywhere else I have read the ages are much higher. What age do you usually introduce your rabbit to veggies?

  Any time after 12 weeks is fine. You want to start with something simple, like leaf lettuce or romaine. Introduce each kind one at a time and watch for any signs of upset. Most bunnies do well with veggies though.

  Will do, I have been reading up on which veggies are best. I always keep organic spring mix in the house. So he will be getting that once he is more accustomed to veggies.

  Oh yes, I love using spring mix. It’s a convenient way to give variety.
