CAN RABBITS EAT KALE?

By Christine

Often called a superfood, kale is popular among health-conscious individuals.  When it comes to nutrition, you can’t go wrong with this veggie.

This dark, leafy veggie contains a lot of water that helps rabbits stay hydrated, and when it comes to nutrition, kale packs a wallop. Feeding this veggie to your bun will give him essential vitamins, such as vitamins C, K, A, and B6. It’s also a great source of minerals like copper, calcium, iron, potassium, manganese, and magnesium.
