Is celery good 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.

Crunchy, watery and fibrous. The strings can be tough: slicing across the stalk into short chunks removes the string hazard.

How much celery can a rabbit have?

One or two short sliced pieces within the daily greens.

How to serve it
