my rabbit doesnt want to eat vegetables or salad or grass he only eats special rabbit food  is that normal

[CottonTailsRescue]

@MrEgypt95 Hello, most rabbits enjoy fresh vegetables such as spring greens, broccoli, celery etc. so it is unusual for a rabbit not to eat them. It may be a good idea to have the rabbit's teeth thoroughly checked by a rabbit-knowledgeable vet jsut in case there is a problem with dental disease. If you would like to discuss this further, email me directly (link provided on the CottonTails website).

Hello, grass is ideal and is the natural diet of a rabbit. Hay is suggested as most people do not have large areas of grassland for the rabbit to graze on all day long, so hay is the next best thing.

How much veg would you say give to a average rabbit daily.

Have a look at the video about feeding rabbits as this explains the veg side quite well. You are welcome to contact me directly via the website if you need to know more. Hope this helps!
