Growing Wheatgrass can be a terrific way to provide your bun with fresh greens year-round. Wheatgrass is extremely high in beta-carotene, high in the B-complex vitamins, vitamins E and K, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, protein, and other nutrients. It also contains large amounts of silicates that will help wear a rabbit’s teeth. Fresh-grown wheatgrass, if it is not washed before giving it to the rabbit, also provides a source of vitamin B12, which is produced by bacteria that adhere to the grass blades.
Wheat Grass can be used for Rabbits, Guineas, Rats, and Reptiles as well!
