Safe Treats
Rememeber to feed treats sparingly. Angoras should not have more than a cup of fruits and Veggies a day. And you should always introduce new foods slowly. These lists are a good starting point when feeding your rabbits fresh foods. That said, it does not include everything that is safe or toxic world wide. I always go by the motto "better safe than sorry" when feeding rabbits.
Leafy Greens should make up about 75% of the fresh portion of your rabbit’s diet (about 1 packed cup per 2 lbs of body weight per day).
