Is cilantro 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.
Aromatic herbs are well tolerated, nutrient-dense and low sugar. Cilantro is one of the greens most often recommended by rabbit vets for picky eaters.
