Can rabbits eat napa cabbage?
Napa cabbage is a type of cabbage, which the RSPCA says to feed only occasionally. The House Rabbit Society lists cabbage of any type, and RWAF says brassicas can cause gas in some rabbits.
How to serve it: a small leaf at first, introduced gradually (TVT)
Good to know: Bok choy (pak choi), a close relative, is listed by RWAF and the House Rabbit Society too; RWAF counts it among the brassicas that are fine in moderation.
Questions
Can rabbits eat napa cabbage every day?
No, only now and then and in small amounts.
Can guinea pigs eat napa cabbage?
Yes, but only a little. Napa cabbage is a cabbage, and guinea pigs can eat cabbage if you start with small amounts (Swiss animal welfare society). Large amounts can cause gas (PDSA).
