what can i nurture my rabbit ?
I want to feed my rabbit other things than pet food but what is best and what will he like ?
You can feed them timothy hay. They should actually have it contained by their daily diet anyway. You can also purchase rabbit treats.
You can give them fresh veggies. Just trademark sure you gradually work them up to it. Some people argue this issue. I hold never once had a problem feeding my rabbits carrots, lettuce, etc. within all the years that I have owned them. But you want to do it gradually. It's loving of like us not having fruit in forever and afterwards we eat a ton of it! lol Not pretty. You also want to keep it in moderation. But a moment or two snack here and there isn't bad.
Also, you can give them a bananna...conceivably 1/8 of one once a week. You might want to start out with less than that. But eventually work them up to about 1/4 per week. It help aid in digestion.
All of the following fruits and vegetables can soundly be fed to your rabbit. Keep in mind that fruit have a lot of sugar, and should be offered only in small quantity. Always choose fruit over commercial treats; it's better tasting and better for your rabbit. New food should be introduced slowly; start small and gradually increase the amount you offer. Unlimited timothy/grass hay, two full cups of greens, half to one cup of vegetables, a quarter to half cup of good aspect pellets, and one tablespoon of fruit is the ideal daily diet for mature rabbits. Again, you will need to work your way up to such a diet.

carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, grass, dandilions, pellets, strawberry tops, apples, seed. Most veggies - no lettuce. Most fruits.
Answers: I feed my rabbit purina rabbit chow, carrot and lettuce, and timothy hay on a daily basis.
Once in awhile I'll furnish her some fruit and some alfalfa hay as a treat.
Besides that, keep it simple and don't go too crazy with the 'exotic' food.
