How much can I feed them?
Rabbit and guinea pigs: Feed small amounts occasionally (1-2 leaves per week). Cabbage contains sulfur compounds and can cause gas or bloating if fed too often. Introduce slowly and monitor for signs of digestive upset. If gas pains appear, discontinue feeding. Prefer green or savoy cabbage over red cabbage, which may be harder to digest due to higher pigment content. Chinchillas: DO NOT FEED. Cabbage is too high in moisture and can cause digestive issues.
