        My girl is about 4-5 months old, and lately I’ve been making her a little salad. I put collard greens, cabbage, shredded carrots and a little block/slice of apple.

        She loves it. But I want to make sure it’s okay and safe to continue giving it to her.

          All of those foods are safe for bunnies, yes. However, apples/carrots are high in sugar and cabbage and collard greens can be high in calcium and cause gas if fed too often, so I would try to switch it up occasionally, introducing new vegetables slowly. You can try romaine, red, or green leaf lettuce, parsley/cilantro, kale, and most herbs.

            Okay, so I’ll either give cabbage or collard greens and carrots or apple.

            Would it be okay if I gave her that a switched it up every day, like cabbage and apples one day and collard greens and carrots the next and so on? I ask because I don’t have the funds at the moment to get other stuff.

              It would be ok, as long as she gets pellets and has plenty of hay. Next time you go buy veggies, you can exchange one of the vegs for another type. Like red or yellow bell pepper, fennel etc. Keep an eye on the workings of her tummy.

                Apple and carrot are okay as treats but they shouldn’t really be included as part of their daily veggies. Her daily veg needs to be leafy greens primarily.
