You can give greens in pellet form by feeding rabbit pellets. Make sure they have a high alfalfa content. Used to be able to get them chicken pellet size, but Harrisons do some slightly larger, but still digestible. No risk of worms, etc via pellets. :)

Belga-vet do a dry veg mix which contains all these ingredients and more. I have used it for years but now finding it hard to obtain from suppliers so have to use the internet.

Why is there a risk of worms ?

Feeding fresh veg, if they are not cleaned properly, could introduce a risk. I think they should be rinsed thoroughly, steeped in salt water, then rinsed again, but someone will know the correct prep and post it for sure. :)

I think cress is relatively safe since it is grown under running water. :)

Ya I think if it's washed cleaned and fed right away should be OK.
