Rabbits are herbivores who munch and crunch all day long. These nibblers have a specialized digestive system that allows them to process food efficiently, but they can\u2019t eat everything. If a rabbit overeats a new food or consumes something they shouldn\u2019t, they can become very sick and possibly die. For this reason, guardians should be cautious about what rabbits eat.<\/p>\n

So what do rabbits eat?<\/h2>\n

Grass and Hay<\/h3>\n

Grass and hay\u2014such as timothy or oat hay\u2014should be readily available at all times for rabbits, as it is (ideally) in nature. This is important for their digestive system\u2019s function and helps their teeth remain the correct length and shape. Rabbits should have fresh hay, free from mold or dust.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t
