When feeding broccolini to your rabbit, make sure it is fresh and thoroughly washed to remove any dirt or pesticide residue. Offer small pieces of broccolini as part of your rabbit's daily vegetable portion. It's important to introduce new foods gradually and monitor your rabbit's response to ensure they tolerate it well.
While broccolini is safe for rabbits, it's important to remember that it should be given in moderation. Too much broccolini or any other vegetable can lead to digestive issues. It's best to provide a balanced diet for your rabbit, with hay being the main component, followed by fresh vegetables and a limited amount of pellets. Offering a variety of vegetables ensures that your rabbit receives a mix of nutrients.
