When it comes to feeding our little rabbits, it is known they are sensitive creatures, and is important to inform ourselves about the food they are allowed to eat or not. 

Rabbits are sensitive when it comes to the slightest change in their environment and food. Their primary diet consists of hay, in addition, they can also eat leafy greens,non-leafy vegetables, and fruits (given in moderation and if it's closely observed by the owner).

On the other hand, there are some products that rabbits can never consume due to their toxicity for the rabbit.
