How Much Basil Can I Give My Rabbit?
The daily limit of basil that rabbits should receive in their diet is 1 or 2 stems and leaves. If fed basil as a snack every few days, or weeks, they can eat two or three times as much at one time. However, it is always good to mix the basil with other herbs when you feed them to your rabbit.
