Carbohydrates must also be limited in the diet of rabbits. Although not conclusively proven, there is strong evidence to support that a diet high in starch contributes to a condition known as carbohydrate overload. With this condition, the pH of the cecum changes as starches are digested. The rapid and vigorous digestion of starches may raise the cecal pH making it more alkaline and more favorable to bad bacteria such as E. coli and Clostridium. All salty foods, chocolate, high fat nuts and very sugary snacks should be avoided.
Vegetables are acceptable in limited quantities.
It is best to feed small amounts of several of these vegetables rather than just one. You can feed about a cup of these per 5 pounds of bunny body weight.
