In addition to hay, which must always be available in sufficient quantity, rabbits should also be given fresh food once or twice a day. In total, a rabbit needs about 100g of fresh food per kilogram of body weight. The fresh food portions should mainly consist of well-structured, fiber-rich food. Grasses, herbs, lettuce and vegetable leaves are ideal for this. A smaller part of the portion should consist of vegetables such as carrots, celery or chicory. Fruit, such as apples or pears, should only be given in small amounts because of the fructose. The fruits and vegetables should of course be washed before feeding.
