Why

Celery is safe for rabbits and provides hydration and some nutrients. It's low in sugar, making it a good option for rabbits that need to limit their sugar intake. The long stringy fibers in celery stalks can be problematic — they can get wrapped around teeth or cause digestive issues. Always cut celery into small 1-inch pieces to break up the strings before feeding.

Portion Guidance

A few small pieces a few times per week. Cut into 1-inch pieces to prevent string-related issues.
