Maize has a very low calcium content. Despite its low water content, a rabbit would have to eat about 5kg to get its recommended daily allowance of 500mg of calcium. This would fill about 10 cereal boxes. It is impossible for a rabbit to eat that much food in one day.

Carrots and carrot tops (1.5-2 bunches)

Carrots are 88% water and are low in calcium (0.37%). A rabbit would need to eat about 1.13g to ingest 500g calcium. This equates to about 10 carrots. Carrot tops are high in calcium (1.94) but are not heavy. The tops from about 1.5 bunces would provide 500g calcium.
