What foods do wild rabbits eat? Wild bunnies prefer tender young green plants and high-protein vegetation over fibrous dry growth. They usually eat twice a day: morning and night. Wild rabbits in captivity need grass hay, pellets and leafy greens such as collard greens, watercress, Swiss chard, broccoli and kale. Wild bunnies, particularly very young ones, should never be removed from their nests, as this drastically shortens their chance of survival.
The majority of a wild rabbit's natural diet is grass and leaves; they also eat some vegetables, fruits, and grains. Pet rabbits eat hay, pellets, and certain fresh vegetables and fruits (see the related question below for details). The kind of food that people leave behind in parks is very unhealthy for rabbits.og food doesn't have the right vitamins for rabbits, either: it has the right ones for dogs. If you feed dog food to a rabbit, you will make it sick. All pets need a species-specific diet; for bunnies, that means unlimited hay and water, and some rabbit pellets and fresh leafy greens daily.
