pop down to your local pet store and but it some rabbit food and until then rabbits like allot of grass and greenery (not from flowers) if you have any salad in the house this rabbit will love that. also try carrots they really like them and it is very fun to watch them nibbling on it! good luck x

If you can't go to the store and buy rabbit food, then I suggest some fruit. Apples, raisins, prunes, etc. Also, my rabbit will eat Cheerios some times, I give her that when I run out of rabbit food. Don't give the rabbit a sugary cereal though. Also, watch out where you put it for the night. Rabbits have to keep chewing to whittle down their teeth. Their teeth continue to grow through out their lives. They will chew electric cords, furniture, carpet, anything.Good luck

You'll need to buy rabbit pellets from a pet store. If the rabbit goes without them for too long, it will have poo problems. Give the rabbit about half a cup per day, but it might not want to eat that much or it might want more. As for vegetables, they'll get runny poo if they rely on them as their sole source of food.Go to your local greengrocer and take little leafy bits they don't want. eg. broccoli leaves. Feed the rabbit twice a day, and in each sitting give it about half a carrot, a large cabbage leaf, DONT give it lettuce, some carrot tops, and broccoli leaves. If it polishes it all off, give it more. There should be vegies left at the end.Don't forget to give it clean water. Rabbits don't have necks, so they need a shallow bowl filled to the top. Just place its food on a piece of newspaper so it's easy to eat.Good on ya for looking after the rabbit!

You will need pellets and alfalfa or timothy hay from a pet or feed store. A banana or some really green leafy lettuce, not iceberg, is a nice treat.
