Bunny's grocery list

Having a rabbit as a companion pet can be good for your waistline and for your heart. Our family no longer buys iceberg lettuce since it is not good food for bunnies (who get their fair share and all the soon to go brown leftovers!). We eat the much healthier romaine, leaf lettuce, endive, escarole, butter lettuce, kale and spinach instead (I buy frisee just for Sam who loves it so much that its fun to watch her eat it!).
I have an herb garden that the bunnies help to fertilize and I grow some of the lettuces and greens myself as well as fresh and delicious herbs such as cilantro, parsley, basil, mint, and lemon balm. These are all great for adding a little gourmet into your cooking and the mint makes excellent tea! We were never this healthy in our eating choices before the bunnies. I eat healthier snacks--Frodo and I like to share a pear and I even find myself munching on the carrots that I use to treat the buns during clicker training.
