Is it okay that i fed my rabbit celery?

i cut it up into little bitty pieces...is celery fine for rabbits?Is it okay that i fed my rabbit celery?
Parsley and celery are both fine...as long as they're in moderation. Parsley has a lot of calcium, so it shouldn't be fed too much.





In the future, it's best to ask the questions in advance....I'd hate to see a question about a harmful food, knowing it could be prevented.





For future reference, here is a list of foods that are ok for buns:

Please never feed your rabbit meat or any dairy or egg products. Also, nothing that has added sugar. Fruit should be fed very sparingly, if at all.





Please check out rabbit.org, for a lot of great info about buns.Is it okay that i fed my rabbit celery?
Essentially rabbits should be fed a Hay and Vegetables diet - grass hay (meadow, pasture, oaten, cereal, ryegrass or timothy hay) should be available at all times. To prevent soiling, hay can be placed in a wall rack. Grasses of most kinds can be offered (except for grass clippings as they often go mouldy), as well as a variety of garden weeds. Avoid Lucerne and other leguminous hays (alfalfa, clover) as they are too high in calcium, except for juvenile, pregnant or lactating rabbits which may benefit from a higher clacium/protein content in their diet.





A range of fresh vegetables should be offered each day, especially leafy green vegetables such as spinach, bok choy/other asian greens, cauliflower leaves, chicory, kale, mustard greens, cabbage and brussel sprout leaves. Celery, pea pods, herbs (parsley,dandelion,coriander, basil, dill, mint etc.), broccoli, spring onions, sprouts, dark-leafed lettuce varieties, radish and carrot tops are also suitable.





Give about 2 packed cups or 250g/kg bodyweight per day of at least 3 different varieties - rabbits will usually pick out the things they like.





Feed limited quantities of pellets (no more than 3% of the rabbit's body weight) and avoid rabbit mixes altogther (selective feeding of items in the mix can lead to dietary deficiencies).





Fresh water needs to be provided 24 hours a day in a bowl that can鈥檛 be tipped over. Preferably use water bottles that hang on the side of the cage.





YEP its in one of the examples HEHE!
celery and parsley are both okay. my bunnies eat just about everything!


well...not EVERYTHING. try cutting the celery into little pieces in case your bunny chokes ( D: ) but its not likely.
Absolutely on both

yes. just stay away from lettuce.


my rabbit loves almost everything.


even some grilled chicken or some protein is good for them too.


my little bun also loves oatmeal and cheese....just sayin......
Any green vegetable is good for them. Lettuce, parsley, celery, spinich, kale, dandelion leaves...
Parsley is good for Iron levels I think.. and celery is good also for their teeth, but I would recommend chopping it up into smaller pieces so not to risk him/her choking :)
My bunny absolutely LOVES celery; it's one of his fave treats, along with cabbage or apple. I usually leave it a little big, because he loves to rip it to shreds ^_^
yes. Rabbits love celery.
i think it is ok to feed your rabbit celery, because it is healthy for it.
