  1 of mine is solo inside, 11 others outside on our deck til they are spayed and neutered. I give the 1 about this much veggies plus 1 cup romaine, green leaf, red leaf etc lettuce or some type or ornamental lettuces. Jack’s favorite is kale too. Try broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, cucumber(everybody’s favorite) Brussels sprouts, chard and collard, turnip or mustard greens too. Mine also like fresh herbs like basil, cilantro and parsley too. I’ve read over and over they should have a variety of greens and veggies from week to week for varied nutrition. A quarter sized piece of carrot and apple per day I’ve read is ok. We have about a cup of lettuce, another leaf or two of green leafy veg and about 1 cup of 3 mixed veg once a day per rabbit, at night works best for my guys.
  
  I read no onion, cabbage, citrus or celery.
  
  They always have fresh hay too, so I figure I’m covered. Carrots, watermelon, apple, peach, canteloupe or any other starch your Bun likes are treats. I recently found that pineapple and papaya help them break down hair they ingest, preventing hair balls.
  
  I’m no expert on this. This is the collective info that has been repeated in my findings. Mine seem happy and healthy.

  That looks like about half what I give my rabbit, but she’s twice ur rabbits size
  So I think your giving her enough. You could chuck in something else like a few leaves of fancy lettuce (not iceberg) or something like basil which is good for them too.
  
  Some things can be harsh on the stomach and it varies as to whether your rabbit can handle it or not. Like spinach, my rabbit can’t handle it, it gives her tummy problems and weird cecals. Also broccoli and brussel sprouts can cause gas problems.
  
  @Missmissi: I thought green beans, well beans of any sort were bad for rabbits??

  Sounds good to me
  
  Just remember parsley is a high oxalate food so just a little parsley, more of the others
