  I’ll be petsitting for a friend this week, as I mentioned in the May Chat. The family has a dog (which I will not worry about here), and 2 rabbits. The oldest rabbit is almost 7 years old, and I don’t really know how old the younger rabbit is, but my guess is two months old. Beignet, the young rabbit, has never seen a vegetable. The Older rabbit, Serendipity, has eaten mint before with no problem, but no other veggie. Should I introduce veggies to the older rabbit?

  Not unless he is going to continue to get veggies from the family who owns him.

  I wouldn’t risk it if they aren’t feeding him veggies – you could cause GI stasis and then the vet bills would be high and if it was caused by veggies, they might try to make you pay for it as it wasn’t on his diet list. If they want you to try to introduce veggies, you can, but only if the owners say to.

  Agreed. You need to just stick with the diet the family have already set for the buns. Try to make things as NORMAL to them as possible
  Just remember, they aren’t yours lol

  I agree with everyone else. And if you want to let them family know about greens, you can always mention it when they return. They would to gradually introduce new greens . HRS recommends introducing veggies at 12 weeks, so the youngest rabbit would be too young now anyway.
