Vegetables for Small Pets
Vegetables form the cornerstone of a healthy diet for many small mammals. For rabbits and guinea pigs, dark leafy greens like romaine lettuce, kale, cilantro, and parsley should make up a significant portion of daily fresh food intake, alongside unlimited timothy hay. Carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, and cucumber are also well-tolerated by most species. However, certain vegetables — particularly onions, garlic, raw potatoes, and rhubarb — are toxic to small mammals and must be avoided entirely. Iceberg lettuce offers minimal nutritional value and can cause diarrhea. Always wash vegetables thoroughly and introduce new items one at a time to monitor digestive tolerance.
