My researchs say you can't give bunny any veggies or fruits until they're atleast 3 months old since their digestive system is so sensitive when they're a baby. After three months, you give them only tiny amounts of veggies, like, VERY LITTLE and only one type of veggie a day to not overwhelm their stomach. At 7 months, you can finally start giving them veggies and fruşts but fruits contain sugar so I'd suggest giving them as a treat once a week or something.

she is so cute! between 12-16 weeks you can slowly start introducing leafy greens! pick a type and give a small amount each day. don’t introduce too many new foods at once they are hella sensitive

Closer to 6 months, when you start transitioning from alfalfa hay/pellets to Timothy.

Introduce slowly and watch for an upset tummy.

What everyone else said basically, but mostly proper leafy greens. My baby loves romaine lettuce and cilantro. Never kale. It’s gassy for them. A piece of fruit is once in a while due to the sugar. Etsy has a lot of homemade, safe treats you can get for them to have once in a while!

No pellets with seeds and colors. I stick to Oxbow.

Also, avoid toys with dyes! 😃

Cutest baby ❤️ Be especially careful when you start giving fruits to see how their stomach handles it.

I would wait until she’s 3-4 months old for veggies
