  Hi all, I recently transitioned my bunny to eating a spring mix I purchase from the store. I felt this way he would get more variety than the 3 to 4 veggies I was purchasing.
  
  I give him the spring mix with occasional Italian parsley, and now my concern is there is high oxalic acid in his diet. Should I be swapping out the spinach or anything for romaine? Here are the ingredients of the mix
  
  Organic green leaf, organic Mizuna, organic crisp, organic tango, organic oak leaf, organic Chard, organic spinach, organic Arugula, organic frisee, organic red leaf, organic lolla rosa, organic radicchio, organic baby butter, organic kale
  
  Any feedback is appreciated!

  Since it’s mixed with other things, it’s likely not in a quantity big enough to cause issues. If you are worried, you can always pick out some spinach leaves in general. It’s great that you’re striving for variety, but don’t worry about swapping one for the other. Admittedly, my rabbits usually only get romaine :X

  Ok! Good stuff. Yeah I tend to worry about this type of stuff so I’ll probably be switching some of the spinach out for peace of mind, my bun’s bonded lady who passed a few months back had a really sensitive gut so some of the worry is probably residual from her. Thank you 🙂
