I read you can give rabbits bok choy but how much ? He gets about 1 and 1/2 to 2 cups of veggies a day but never thought about giving him this because we never buy it really but I have some and wanna give it a try :p

I :love bok choy and use it all kinds of ways. :drool It looks similar to swiss chard and is easy to grow. It's much higher in nutrients than, say, spinach or broccoli. (Nutrient wise it's closer to swiss chard.)

Bok choy, per cup:
Potassium - 631 mg
Phosphorus - 49 mg
Magnesium - 19 mg
Protein - 2.65 grams
Calcium - 158 mg
Iron - 1.77 mg
Zinc - 0.29 mg
Copper - 0.032 mg
Manganese - 0.245 mg
Selenium - 0.7 mcg
Sodium - 58 mg
Fiber - 1.7 grams

Swiss chard, per cup:
Potassium - 961 mg
Phosphorus - 58 mg
Magnesium - 150 mg
Protein - 3.29 grams
Calcium - 102 mg
Iron - 3.95 mg
Sodium - 313 mg
Zinc - 0.58 mg
Copper - 0.285 mg
Manganese - 0.585 mg
Selenium - 1.6 mcg
Fiber - 3.7 grams

As far as buns eating it and how much, it really depends on several things like what their normal diet is, what they're used to eating, etc. For buns on pellets and also used to eating rich dark greens, most would probably feed it like swiss chard, included as a small part of the veggies the buns are used to receiving.

I grow it in the winter. I love it in soup. We buy those packaged pot stickers & cook them in chicken broth/water 50/50 & add broccoli & bok choy. mmmmmmmmm
