Question for the rabbit carers?

Is that okay?:

Evening and morning: 4 lettuce leaves, 2 broccoli crowns, ½ carrot, 1 slice of apple

Lunch: Green fodder (grass, dandelion, a non-toxic flower whose name I don't know.)

As a snack: A little dry food and about 50g of oat flakes.

Is that too much for a colored dwarf and a ram dwarf? (each gets this portion)

They also get daily exercise, so don't worry.

My rabbit hopped over to me, so I came up with this question 😂

Hello

No, that's not too much. I have a rabbit and this gets a lot to eat every morning at noon and evening and it will never feel tired of it 😂.

Best regards 🍀

a rabbit cruel, in addition to a wrong diet, why do you ask yourself about the optimal conditions and the needs of these animals before the purchase?

Dry food is unnecessary and even harmful to the intestines.

If you feed oat flakes anyway, both would be much too much energy together. Even oat flakes are not the best energy feed. Better would be seeds.

I wouldn't give the apple a day – too much fruit sugar.

I think it's funny that you count the salad leaves in the morning and in the evening. My rabbits at least eat significantly more than 4 salad leaves.

In general there is lack of the leaflet, ie cabbage leaves, cauliflower leaves, green cabbage (but you must not feed as long as you give dry food), spinach, batavia, chicory, etc.

"Jassy1603" has already written what you should feed (greens) and what not (dry food, grain, lots of fruit).

Another indication of the correct quantity:
The best is the "ad libitum" nutrition, which means that green food is always available.
Here you can read a lot about healthy food for rabbits:

Very important: every change must be gradually reconciled for several weeks. A sudden diet can make rabbits sick.

This is completely ok but dry food is unnecessary.

Morning and evening greenery is perfect, ie chicory, endive salad, carrots, fennel, cucumber etc.

Fruit is not good because of fruit sugar!

Grass, lion tooth etc. is also good!

High quality hay and water must always be available to rabbits. Our rabbits only get Volvic as it contains almost no calcium.

Our male rabbit from a private animal shelter is high-grade E.Cuniculi positive. Unfortunately, the pathogen has beaten up on kidney and bladder, so that our loisl, despite low-calorie food, always gets bubbles. He gets 10% panacur every day.

In the animal clinic, therefore, the bladder is rinsed with a beautiful regularity, about every nine months, under anesthesia by means of a catheter.

Our Leni has a thyme, a tumor of thymus gland.

Both rabbits, contrary to the statement of the private animal shelter, are definitely not one and two years old but in the back third of their lives.

Presumably, they were given for their illnesses in the private animal shelter and allegedly examined there by a veterinarian. However, they were neither vaccinated nor had this veterinarian recognized the serious diseases of our rabbits. It is therefore to be assumed that the two rabbits in this private animal shelter have never seen a veterinarian.

Rabbits do not need dry food and also no oat flakes.

Two rabbits need at least 6 square meters of outlet around the clock.

Our rabbits have our complete living room with at least 40 square meters around the clock available.
