Do you think it would be ok to cut up a mixture of fresh vegetables and freeze them for my rabbit?

Or would they not stay good?Do you think it would be ok to cut up a mixture of fresh vegetables and freeze them for my rabbit?
Fresh veggies are best. Only buy enough for a week at a time. When you bring them home, wash them and store wrapped in paper towel and in a plastic bag.


http://www.rabbit.org/care/veggies.html is a list of bunny safe veggies.Do you think it would be ok to cut up a mixture of fresh vegetables and freeze them for my rabbit?
it would depend on the vegetable. you can't freeze lettuce.
No, once you thaw them, they would be mush.





Pellets is really the most complete way to feed your bunny.


It has the correct amount of protein (16% is good to buy) and also correct amounts of minerals.





You can hurt a bunny by feeding things like Iceberg lettuce. It will cause loose stools and can cause the bunny to die.
hm, just give them to your bunny fresh, pellets are only supposed to be a small percentage of their diet also btw.


i dont believe iceburgh will kill them unless youre shoving it down their throats, its just very sweet and is not nutritious at all. but remember any vegetable is supposed to be mostly a treat so a half a cup or at the most a cup a day should suffice.
Only freeze them if you live in an area with no fresh fruit or vegetables available.
Rabbits that are feed a good pellet and hay DO NOT NEED vegetables or fruit. The pellet has everything a rabbit needs.


The hay is to keep their digestion moving.


Veggies and fruit can cause diarrhea or enteritis. Wild rabbits do not eat these things they eat grasses and grains.


freezing veggies and fruits brings out the water in them which is the cause of diarrhea in rabbits.


DO NOT EVER feed a rabbit lettuce this is like a death sentence to them.





The healthiest rabbits you will ever see is at a ARBA rabbit show. Almost all breeders only feed pellets and hay to their rabbits.


The reason so many houserabbits have to be taken to the vet all the time is because their diet has too many extras in it.
