Image Kale (265g)
Kale sometimes has a bad reputation for rabbits because of its calcium content (approximately 1.3%).

Image JPEG image Clover
Clover (Trefolium spp.) is a common plant in areas that are grazed by rabbits. It has an unsubstantiated reputation for causing bloat, probably because it can cause problems in ruminants that eat a large amount of new growth in the spring. The digestive physiology of rabbits is different. Clover is not harmful for rabbits and is often found in lawns or among grass and other plants on verges and other foraging sites.
