The moisture content of vegetables is about 85%, its crude fiber content is low, palatability is good, and rabbits are greedy. Feeding young rabbits within 90 days of age with vegetable leaves will cause diarrhea in only a few days. If rabbits develop diarrhea after eating vegetables, they should stop feeding vegetables, add hay and dry leaves, and add 2% charcoal or 2% medicinal charcoal to the mix or batch.

When vegetables are replanted with nitrogenous fertilizers, herbicides or insect pests, droughts, and insufficient sunlight to turn red, nitrate content increases. Rabbits greedily eat vegetables leaves and ingest more nitrate, stimulate the gastric mucosa, can cause gastroenteritis. After pests, tramples, frosts, stacking and transportation of vegetables, especially in a humid and hot environment, the nitrates contained therein can easily become more toxic nitrites. As long as rabbits eat 100 grams of such vegetables can cause poisoning, it should be careful to feed these leaves.

Mustard, rape, radish and other cruciferous vegetables contain mustard meal. Under the action of mustard enzyme, it can produce toxins such as nitrile, which can damage the liver and kidneys of rabbits. Therefore, cruciferous vegetables should be fed as little as possible. Feeding with vegetables damaged by aphids and cabbage caterpillars can cause conjunctivitis, stomatitis, gastroenteritis, rhinitis, vaginitis, abdominal pain, and diarrhea in rabbits.

When feeding rabbits properly with vegetables, feed should be fed with low moisture content (bran, etc.) and feed with high crude fiber content (dried leaves, etc.). The rabbits should be fresh vegetables without dew.
