Cabbage is a very safe cruciferous vegetable that your rabbit can eat daily.
There are a variety of cabbages that your rabbit can eat which include: white, red (often seen as purple), green and a favourite of ours Chinese (Bok Choy).
It’s worth noting that your rabbit may not agree with cabbage. To avoid GI Stasis and excessive gas, provide your rabbit with very small quantities when introducing it into their diet.
Rabbits can eat cabbage daily, however, you should mix this up.Always try and combine cabbage with other fresh green leafy vegetables or herbs.
Your rabbits diet should consist of anywhere from 5-15% of vegetables and cabbage can take up a considerable amount of this portion.
If your rabbit has never had cabbage you may struggle with getting them to eat it, that’s totally normal.
Simply slowly ease them into it whilst mixing in some vegetables you know they’ll love!
Cabbage is not poisonous or toxic to your rabbit, however, much like anything else a rabbit can eat it should only be taken in small quantities.
Vegetables that are part of the cabbage family are notoriously known for producing gas which may cause discomfort in your rabbit in the long run.
Cabbage is a perfect vegetable if your rabbit has a healthy and productive digestive system.
However, if you do wish to avoid the risk of gas, there are plenty of other green vegetables that your rabbit can eat instead of cabbage.
Feeding your rabbits cabbage is completely optional, but we definitely suggest giving it a go in small portions.
