Hi Cottontail, read that both cabbage and lettuce cannot right? u mean... Romaine Lettuce is the only type which can be fed huh? Feed everyday also can hor? There are really too many types of ang mo lettuce in the supermarket. Got those purple col one also. But since romaine lettuce is the only one listed, better stick to it. I don't feed romaine everyday. I mixed different variety, mostly local veg. Partly becoz most NTUC & shop & save don't sell romaine lettuce. Unless I shop at Cold Storage, otherwise I buy romiane like once or twice a month kind. It should be ok to feed everyday

Yes, half of 1/8 = to 1/16 also.
It is better to give more variety of veg. Coz some contain Vatamin A (like broccoli, carrot). So giving more variety means giving the bunny a more balance diet.
Cold Storage will list the veggie name. So you can look out for more.

cottontail > i find that cold storage things rather exp leh... but they got VERY WIDE variety... Ya, true. That's why i normally buy from NTUC or shop and save. aiya but then neighbourhood supermaket not so much variety lor. I like to shop at CS for more english veggies. Giant's veggies very cheap but far from my house. Carrefour not cheap and not fresh. I don't go wet market coz I am not used to doing marketing so early in the morning.

Bubblez can broccoli be frequently fed to bun? Cos read that some vege should be fed sparingly. So not sure which can be fed more and which lesser. I've currently compiled my own list of vege which is safe to feed frequently:
Broccoli Xiao Bai Cai Local Celery Celery Parsley Mint Leaves Basil Leaves Cai Sim
If I make any mistake, pls let me noe hor.

Broccoli Xiao Bai Cai Local Celery Celery Parsley Mint Leaves Basil Leaves Cai Sim If I make any mistake, pls let me noe hor. Yes, this list is ok. Can feed everyday. But I am sure you will mixed any 3-6 varieties. Not everything for everyday rite? For Broccoli, feed the stem and leaves only. Cut out the flower part as the flower part is high in calcium. Anyway, bunny don't like that part also. For celery stalk, you may want to pull out the string part. You know there are those string thing on the outer layer. You can break the stalk in half and pull it all the way, the strings will come out. Coz I ever read the celery stalk is too stringy so for safety, i remove the string. You can add carrot, capiscum if you want.
