大家好~我是兔爸!

昨天看到一篇外國的文章,

是關於一些學者把兔子平常可以食用的蔬菜水果及草本植物都列出來,

成為一個兔子食物清單,我個人覺得寫得很詳細,

所以就大概翻譯了一下此篇文章給大家參考!

希望對不管是初次養兔的飼主還是對兔子可以吃甚麼有疑問者有幫助!

When you think about what your rabbit is able to eat you most likely think that the majority of vegetables and fruits should be ok, right? Well, unfortunately there are some foods out there [even if they are natural and seem safe] that can potentially harm your rabbit and cause them to get sick or have an adverse reaction and should not be used as rabbit food. Keep reading on to find out the answer to "what do rabbits like to eat" and for a comprehensive bunny food list!

當你/妳在想你家兔子可以吃甚麼時,你/妳可能會想甚麼樣的蔬菜與水果是可以吃的?不幸運的是,有些食物是潛在會使你家兔子生病或是不良反應產生,而這些食物不該給予兔子食用.繼續閱讀下去,你將找到"甚麼是兔子喜歡吃的"和全齡兔的食物清單!

Just a note, it’s important that the majority, roughly 80 percent, of your rabbit’s diet is timothy hay, however, it’s healthy for them to have fruit and vegetables on the side as well. Also, while some foods may be completely OK for your pet rabbit to eat, the amount that you are giving them may not be.

記下,非常重要!你家兔子大約80%的食物來源是提摩西牧草,然而,對兔子而言,給予蔬菜與水果也很健康.再者,有些食物對兔子而言是完全ok的,但是給予的量對於兔子而言未必是恰當的.

Rabbit’s have sensitive stomachs and shouldn’t be fed in excess when it comes to additional fruit and vegetables In particular, some specific fruits or vegetables have more sugar or fiber contents so that also depends on how much they should be consuming. So if you're wondering why "my rabbit won't eat vegetables" it may be how you are preparing them or that they just in fact don't like that particular veggie. 

兔子有個很敏感的胃,不能給予過量的蔬菜水果.尤其是一些特定的蔬菜水果含有過量的糖與纖維,必須考慮到多少的量對於兔子是合適的.所以如果你好奇為什麼"我家兔子不吃蔬菜?"那可能是因為你家兔子可能不喜歡特定的蔬菜.

A COUPLE OF TIPS:

When introducing a new food to your rabbit always do so gradually. Give them a small amount to see if it agrees with them and then see how they react over the next 24 hours. If you notice anything different with their health or stool that is bad then refrain from giving them that particular food. If there was no negative reaction, you can feed them more next time and gradually introduce.

當你給予你家兔子一種新的食物時,必須逐量給予.先給予兔子一點,看兔子是否能接受,再觀察接下來的24小時兔子對於新食物的反應如何.當你注意到兔子食用新食物時會有奇怪的身體反應或是糞便性狀不佳的情形,就不要繼續給予兔子此種食物.但是如果沒有不良反應的產生,下次就可以再給予此種食物,或逐量增加.

Always wash your fruits, vegetables and herbs that you are feeding your pet rabbit. Anymore, there are so many pesticides and chemicals that are used in the growing process. Such chemicals can potentially be harmful to your rabbit.

任何蔬菜水果或是草本植物,再給予兔子食用前務必清洗乾淨.因為這些蔬菜水果或是草本植物在生長的過程中都會使用一些農藥或是化學藥劑.這些殘留物則會對兔子造成潛在的危害.

Rabbit’s are very curious creatures. They will most often almost try anything, even if it’s harmful to them. They just can’t help but to try a nibble. It’s up to you to monitor what they are putting into their cute little chompers.

兔子是一種對外界非常好奇的動物.即使對他們有害,他們也會去嘗試任何東西.兔子會忍不住去輕咬一下.這取決於你要將甚麼東西放進他們小巧的嘴裡.

So, before you hand you sweet little fluffy friend that boysenberry or piece of asparagus, check out this bunny food list to see if it is in fact safe and healthy for them to eat. The list also includes foods that may be found in your backyard or garden such as herbs, natural plants and twigs.

所以,在遞給你家毛絨絨的小可愛波森莓或一片蘆筍前,先去確認兔子食物清單看是否對兔子而言是健康無害的.該清單還包括可能在您的後院或花園中發現的食物，如草本植物,天然植物或樹枝.

Which fruits can rabbits eat?

Fruits should be fed in moderation due to sugar content (up to 2 tablespoons worth per day). 
Do not feed the pips, stones, plants etc. of fruits unless otherwise stated, as most of the time they are poisonous! Rabbits love sugary fruit and will eat too much of it, which is bad for them. Therefore it's up to you to limit it!

由於含糖量（每天最多2湯匙）,水果應適量餵食.除非另有說明,否則不要餵食水果的果仁,核,植物等,因為大部分它們都是有毒的!兔子喜歡含糖水果,會吃太多,這對他們不利.因此,您可以限制它！

Apple (not the pips - they are poisonous!)蘋果（不是果仁 - 它們是有毒的！）

Apricot杏仁(是杏仁,不是杏仁果)

Banana (high in potassium)香蕉（鉀含量高）

Blackberries (and leaves – excellent astringent properties)黑莓（和葉子 - 極好的收斂特性）

Blueberries藍莓

Cherries (not the pits and plant - they contain cyanide and are therefore poisonous!)
