Rabbit herbs – natural variation for foraging, nibbling and enrichment
Rabbits are true herbivores who naturally enjoy foraging, sniffing, and nibbling on different textures and flavors. With herbs, you can easily add variety to their daily diet and make feeding more fun: for example, sprinkle a little among the hay or hide it in enrichment. Note: herbs are always a supplement – the foundation remains rabbit hay , supplemented with appropriate rabbit food and always clean drinking water.

Why give rabbits herbs?
Herbs are an easy way to spice up the menu without changing the basics. They complement natural behavior: rabbits enjoy choosing, smelling, sorting, and nibbling. This makes herbs ideal for daily variety, especially when combined with hay and enrichment. Want to offer fresh herbs in addition to dried ones? Then check out fresh rabbit herbs & plants .
Which herbs are right for your rabbit?
Start simply with one type or a mild mix, and gradually increase the amount. Some rabbits prefer fine leaves, while others prefer coarser textures like carrots or a herbal toy. Vary the options, but keep it simple: this way you can easily see what your rabbit likes.
How do you give herbs responsibly?
Provide herbs sparingly as a supplement to the daily diet. Always introduce new herbs gradually (especially with sensitive eaters) and observe how your rabbit reacts. If you want to use herbs as a reward, choose herbal options and use "real treats" sparingly – you'll find them in rabbit treats .
Hygiene & storage
✔ Store herbs in a cool, dry place and sealed (this will help the aroma last longer).
✔ Remove “old leftovers” from the enclosure to prevent contamination.
✔ It is better to sprinkle small portions and refill when it runs out.
Checklist
✔ Hay always remains the basis: rabbit hay .
✔ Herbs are a supplement: start small and build up slowly.
✔ Choose a variety of structures: flowers, leaves and (optionally) roots.
✔ Make feeding fun: combine with playing and foraging .
Safety
Only provide herbs intended for pet food and introduce new products gradually. Always check for freshness (no musty odor or visible contamination). If you have any concerns about appetite or behavior, consult a rabbit-savvy veterinarian.
FAQ
Are dried herbs or fresh herbs better?
Both are suitable. Dried is easy to portion and has a long shelf life; fresh is extra appealing in terms of aroma and juiciness. Combine what suits your rabbit and your routine.
How much herbs should I give rabbits per day?
Provide small portions as a supplement to hay and feed. Start small and gradually increase the amount; always observe how your rabbit reacts.
Can I also use herbs as a reward?
Yes, herbs are actually a great "small treat." If you want extra variety, check out rabbit snacks and preferably choose fiber-rich options.
