What should a stray rabbit eat?

Ok, well my dad saved a stray rabbit from drowning in our pool. Now we are nursing it back to health, but not touching it at all with our hands. We will release it back to the wild once it is okay. What should we give it to eat? Please help, i need to make sure he lives.What should a stray rabbit eat?
Good greens for rabbits are:


- Arugula


- Basil


-Broccoli


-Brussel Sprouts


-Carrot tops


- Celery


- Dandelion greens


- Dark leaf lettuce


- Parsley


- Timothy Hay


- Watercress


And you want to feed 1lb of greens for every 3lbs of bunny.





DO NOT feed bunnies:


- beans


-breads


-cereals


-chocolate


-corn


-nuts


-oats


-peas


-refined sugar


-seeds


-wheat





When your bunny is feeling aa bit better you can treat him with:


apple slices ( no seeds!), cantaloupe, honeydew, kiwi, nectarines, peaches,pears,plums,strawberries, tomatoes, and watermelon.


Just make sure not to over feed with the treats. only 1 tablespoon a day if your bunny is 2lbs. If he weighs 5lbs or more give him 2 tablespoons.





Hope this helps and good luck!What should a stray rabbit eat?
Alfalfa pellets, apples , lettuce, cabbage, or just about any green or yellow vegetables, bread moistened with a small amount of milk. Almost anything that isn't greasy turn this bunny loose as soon as possible it will increase it's chances of survival.
get some rabbit food or just give it grass and greens but no lettuce as that cause diarrhea.
Lettuce and carrots and grass
a stray rabbit should eat a variety of vegetables
i think you should ruh-lax


carrots should be fine for the time being
hay and pellets
just ask farmer brown. i'm sure he'd give you an ear full lol.....
