Kale

Okay sometimes

Safe and nutritious, but in the cabbage family and fairly high in calcium, rotate rather than feed as the only green every day.

How much: Rotate; not the sole daily green. Ask your vet if your rabbit has had bladder sludge or stones.

Guidance varies on this one, so please check with your exotic vet for your rabbit.
