Is bok choy good or bad for rabbits?

A rabbit’s diet is a pyramid with hay at the base: roughly 80% grass hay, 10–15% leafy greens, and a small daily pellet portion (House Rabbit Society model). Anything outside that pyramid is a treat — and sugar is the enemy of the gut flora that keeps a rabbit alive.

High water content and fermentable sugars mean possible gas for sensitive rabbits. Introduce slowly like any cabbage-family green.

How much bok choy can a rabbit have?
