Kale has a high dose of calcium, but because Kale contains a lot of water, your bun is okay to eat it regularly. I would like to point out you're the pet's owner/mother/caretaker and therefore you have to be a disciplinarian when it comes to your bunny's eating habits. For example, my rabbit Buhk Buhk is obsessed with eating his gourmet pellets and picks and chooses what he wants to eat leaving much of his Timothy hay and pellets behind. Naughty bunny! What I do in this case is not give him a fresh load of gourmet pellets until he finishes his whole meal first. This is a similar scenario to what parents do with their children, otherwise, kids would be eating candy all the time, right? So my advice is your bun can eat Kale, just make sure he still eats his hay and pellets too, in moderation!Angry Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03789984234675059280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843482541087895301.post-31213161284062123072008-01-14T15:31:54.562-05:002008-01-14T15:31:54.562-05:00Jenny, what do you think about Kale? I can't get my bunny to eat any of the other greens. He LOVES Kale and eats it daily. I read something somewhere that didn't have a high opinion on Kale, but it hasn't seemed to hurt my bunny.Sheliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00280487267612661372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843482541087895301.post-76577877086288887442008-01-14T13:45:57.199-05:002008-01-14T13:45:57.199-05:00Thank you Janet, yes it is very important to watch out for alfalfa supplements in hay and pellets. Which goes back to me saying, read those labels!Angry Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03789984234675059280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843482541087895301.post-46137605496844016442008-01-14T13:41:10.764-05:002008-01-14T13:41:10.764-05:00Don't forget that Alfalfa isn't good for adult bunnies in pellets, either!Janethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14571140151292063125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843482541087895301.post-2534763961422887852008-01-13T22:58:54.047-05:002008-01-13T22:58:54.047-05:00Shelia: I am delighted to hear that your bun eats so healthy! I hope I remember his birthday in May, if not happy early b-day to him ;)<BR/><BR/>budgetboy: I'm glad the spring mix is working out! It's amazing the rabbit food that's coming out, I love how there is even organic hay and pellets for animals!Angry Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03789984234675059280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843482541087895301.post-80114083740623420712008-01-11T13:21:14.701-05:002008-01-11T13:21:14.701-05:00We had our rabbit on pellets when she was young then we switched her over yo spring mix, which is differnt kinds of green leafly lettuce. Not only does she love it, but her coat has never been softer. Yes it is a bit more expensive, but she seems to be responding to it better.BudgetBoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05630242094881072658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7843482541087895301.post-32483866219445350772008-01-11T01:22:01.093-05:002008-01-11T01:22:01.093-05:00Hello! Glad to see your blog. We have a rabbit who eats pretty much on the order that you described. He will be three years old in May. He is very playful though a tad needy :)<BR/><BR/>I look forward to following your blog.Sheliahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00280487267612661372noreply@blogger.com
