  What’s the best green to start a bunny on? My new girl has possibly never had any greens and I want the best one to get her belly used to it. I have some romaine and parsley in my fridge right now, how do those sound?

  parsley is a great first veggie and romaine is often a popular choice too let’s hope she give it two paws up. you’ll want to introduce them one at a time to ensure there’s no tummy upset.

  I totally agree. Romaine and parsley are easy on the tum and parsley is high in Vitamn A which they need daily. Edson loves both Italian and curley parsley. Good luck! Then you might add a little mint. Another easy one.

  i agree about the parsley & romaine. if your girl got any greens at all before it was likely romaine. plus baby bun – who snubbed all other veg when i first tryed to feed them to her – started immediately munching romaine. good luck!

  i gave my little guy carrots to start with for my first veggy, then i tried peppers(he to did not like them), then cucumber and celery he really liked it, and then today i agve him romaine lettece for the first time and he loved it. If theres ne others i should giving him, please let me know. And for the brocolli how u like the munchining sound, celery has a nice munching sound too, its so cute so listen and watch.

  Cukes and celery do not have much nutrition. You should stick with the darker lettuces like romaine and baby greens, chard and things like parsley that are high in Vitamin A.
