📖About Can Rabbits Eat Wheat?
Wheat grass (sprouted wheat) is an excellent food for rabbits — it is high in fiber, contains vitamins and enzymes, and most rabbits love it. You can grow wheat grass at home easily. However, wheat grain (the actual seed) is too starchy for rabbits and should not be fed regularly. Some rabbit pellets contain wheat, which is acceptable in the processed pellet form where it is balanced with other ingredients.
