Is parsley 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.

Nutritious and well loved. Its high calcium is the reason it belongs in a rotation with lower-calcium greens rather than as the only green.

How much parsley can a rabbit have?

A sprig or two in the daily mix, rotated.

How to serve it

Rabbits with sludgy-urine history: favor lower-calcium greens like romaine and cucumber.
