Spring Greens
Brassica oleracea
Spring greens can be a limited daily green for rabbits and guinea pigs when hay stays unlimited. These tender brassica leaves pack vitamins but can cause gas if you dump a huge pile in the bowl.
Introduce slowly, rotate with other vegetables, and back off if droppings get soft or your pet looks uncomfortable.
Guideline: Limited Daily
Type: Vegetables
Other Names: Spring cabbage greens, tender brassica leaves

Is Spring Greens item toxic?
Fresh spring greens are not a classic poison, but they are brassica-heavy. Too much at once can cause gas or bloating in rabbits and guinea pigs.
Should I feed my pet Spring Greens?
Yes—in small daily portions as part of a varied green rotation for rabbits and guinea pigs, with unlimited hay first. Chinchillas usually need stricter vet guidance for leafy greens.
How much can I feed them?
Offer a small handful or less per day for a medium rabbit, rotating with other approved greens—not the whole bowl. Introduce new greens slowly and watch droppings for 24 hours.
