Food Reminders:

All bunnies need hay. Every time the hay rack goes empty refill it. Do not give a sick bunny (or a bunny with diarrhea) any spinach, or kale. Any food that is not listed you must check with a vet before you give it to bunny. Pellets are not essential to give to bunny. If bunny hasn't ever had pellets then don't give her them. Ask your vet if you should not (or stop) giving bunny pellets. If you stop giving bunny pellets then you must slowly wean her off them. Buy papaya FRESH at a supermarket. You can freeze cubes of papaya for later.

Food Amounts:

HAY~ Give an endless supply of hay.

PELLET~ Consult vet.

VEGGIES~ 2cups for every 5 pounds she weighs.

TREATS~ 2-3inch. long stick of apple, carrot, or papaya.
