The following are some vegetables available locally (including some common Chinese veggies) that have been fed to my own bunnies and/or to other rabbits in Hong Kong with no reported ill-effect.

Note
Chinese Kale, also known as Chinese Broccoli or Kai Lan (looks similar to Choy Sum, but is in darker shade of green and has white flowers) is relatively high in mercury. It was once reported that frequent consumption could lead to reduction of sperms in human. Therefore, I will not let my bunnies try it unless mercury is proved to make no harm to rabbit.
