3 foods that rabbits should NOT eat

Here are three foods that rabbits should not eat:

1. Chocolate

  • Why it's harmful: Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, which are toxic to rabbits. Even small amounts can cause serious health issues like increased heart rate, tremors, or even death.

2. Iceberg Lettuce

  • Why it's harmful: Iceberg lettuce contains lactucarium, which can be harmful in large quantities and may cause diarrhoea or digestive issues. It also has very little nutritional value compared to other leafy greens.

3. Avocado

  • Why it's harmful: Avocados contain persin, a toxin that can cause breathing difficulties, heart problems, and even death in rabbits.


It's crucial to stick to a rabbit-safe diet that includes fresh hay, leafy greens (like romaine lettuce and kale), and small amounts of vegetables and fruits that are safe for them.
