So I need inspiration for some new salads for Pancakes.

What salad did you give your bun tonight?

Pancakes had :

Corriander (cilantro to you US people!)

Parsley

Baby Gem lettuce

Spinach

By shred do you mean grate? (another UK/US language thing I think!)

Is there any reason why you shred them? I give pancakes chunks she has to chomp through!

I buy bags of shredded (same as grated I think!) carrots, since carrots aren't really the best veggie (high in sugars), having them shredded means I can give them a few shreds and spread it out more than I could say, 1 baby carrot. I also like them because my daughters can feed them to the buns without me worrying about an accidental nip

It varies from week to week. This week she's been eating:

Cilantro

Broad leaf parsley

Tuscan Kale

Baby Bok Choy

Yu Choy Sum

Endive

Snow Peas

Carrot Tops, and a sliver of a baby carrot

Baby Greens (Arugula, red and green chard, etc.)

Broccoli leaves

Romaine

Kale

Carrot (two baby carrots, chopped up)

Cucumber (some buns have issues with this one, so use sparingly, mine only get it every so often since it's mostly water but they love it and it doesn't give them poopy bottom)

Spinach

One broccoli floret broken up into little pieces

Cilantro

Well, it's morning now so for breakfast the buns had Romaine and Baby Bok Choy and for supper they will have Romaine and Cilantro. I like to make the meals a bit different; Variety is the spice of life for bunnies too! They always get Romaine and then at least one other veg. Usually, they get more selection but the grocery store didn't have much options when I went veg shopping yesterday.

Dinausor Kale? I've never seen any option in my store other than "Kale". Stormy should be eating Dinosaur Kale. He is a REX after all! Rawrr!

Here's a link to an article with a good photo of the dinosaur kale aka Tuscan Kale aka Italian Kale aka Black Kale:

I've only seen it at the speciality type markets (which are becoming more common in my area) in the organic section.  I have never tried it because my rabbits really love it and there is never any left for me.  It's really a beautiful looking veggie in my opinion.

LPT, Stormy does need to try this LOL.

My rabbits love the tuscan Kale also. It's called Cavolo Nero where I buy it as it's an Italian run fruit & veg store. Mum also grew it & those plants just keep producing. It's currently out of season here though. : (

Tonight, my rabbits had parsley, celery tops and stalk, curly endive, some purple carrot and radacchio.

I'm pretty sure it is LoveChaCha...give it a try with her and see if she likes it...it may taste different than the regular kale and if she doesn't like it you can saute it up with garlic :~)

Why not? It won't hurt her

Mommy loves garlic, so if baby doesn't like it, hehe
