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.
A good rule of thumb is that any leafy green safe for you to eat is also safe for your bunnies. Lettuce, carrot tops, watercress, dandelion greens and raspberry leaves are prime examples of nutrient-rich greens you can grow in a vegetable garden and feed your indoor bunnies. These leafy greens, along with grass hay, should make up 75 percent of your rabbits' fresh food every day.
