  It should be fine to give her very small amounts, and watch her poos carefully. If it causes any loose stools or gas, try less or a different veggie.

  Right now while she is young I would only give her a tablespoon or two of veggies each day, and watch her poos. If they are fine, gradually increase the amount. When she grows up, I would recommend not feeding cilantro, spinach or parsley in large amounts as they are high in calcuim or oxalic acid. Really, the best veggies for bunnies are a variety of leafy lettuces (I feed romaine, red leaf, green leaf, endive) and a few add ins of other leafy greens such as kale, Swiss chard,Escarole, Herbs, arugula, etc. You also need to be careful of oxalic acid.
