Which types of feed cannot be used alone to feed rabbits?

1. White radish leaves: White radish leaves contain very high levels of chlorophyll and a lot of water. If rabbits eat too much, they are prone to bloating, diarrhea, indigestion, and similar problems. Therefore, when feeding white radish leaves to rabbits, they should be mixed with other forage grasses, vegetable leaves, and so on.

2. Peanut vines: Peanut vines are rich in nutrients, and rabbits love to eat them, but because they contain a lot of crude fiber and water, excessive intake by rabbits can easily cause big belly disease, loose stools, indigestion, and similar problems, so they should not be fed alone in large amounts. In addition, when using peanut vines to feed rabbits, combining them with feeding the rabbits some onions, garlic heads, and so on can effectively prevent and control the occurrence of rabbit diseases.

3. Sweet potato vines: Sweet potato vines lack vitamin E (that is, tocopherol). If they are used alone to feed breeding rabbits for a long time, they can slow down sperm formation in male rabbits and reduce the conception rate of female rabbits. Therefore, when using sweet potato vines to feed rabbits, they should be fed together with other forage grasses, and the amount fed each time is best controlled at about 30%.

4. Spinach: Spinach contains relatively large amounts of oxalic acid. The calcium oxalate precipitate formed by oxalic acid and calcium cannot be absorbed by rabbits, so it is not suitable to feed it alone to young rabbits. Young rabbits that eat spinach are prone to rickets and osteomalacia.
