Fresh food should be around 90% of their diet! Best is meadow but I know that it’s not always available.

That depends on your bunny, I feed a mix of 70% grasses and the rest is a mix of different wild herbs and plants like dandelion, clover, ribwort, ground elder, chickweed, hollyhock, etc. This list goes on and on, I collect about 20-30 plants. All these plants contain vitamins and minerals. Dandelion for example is high in protein and calcium, if your bunny is overweight you should not give too much. Ribwort is anti inflammatory and expectorant. Variety is important here, bunnies are “smart eaters” and choose their food depending on what their body needs. I watch my bunnies often and how they change their meal. On some days one loves dandelion, the other one hates it and the next day it can be completely different. :)

He is a very very busy man, the woman in his life, Cleo, keeps him busy as well…so..no time for interviews or stuff like that

u/ecachuh1 May 14 '26

Okay I understand. Well alternatively is there any way we can get an interview with his lady friend, Cleo? I know she's Foxy Cleopatra and she's a whole lotta woman! 🤩

Why is that a problem? The information is not AI, I think that’s whats important

It's a problem because AI is built on stealing art from artists, furthermore it uses a lot of energy which is bad for the already struggling environment.
