You see them in your yard, in parks, and by the roadside, but have you ever wondered what’s actually on the menu for an Eastern Cottontail rabbit? In this video, we explore their diverse diet as strict herbivores that are most active at dawn and dusk. Discover how their menu changes dramatically across seasons: from tender spring and summer grasses, clover, and dandelions to tough winter survival food like woody tree bark, twigs, and buds. Plus, learn why feeding them human scraps is a bad idea and how planting native grasses and brush piles supports wild populations naturally! What you will learn:Spring & Summer Menu: Why warm months bring green, leafy vegetation like clover, grasses, and broadleaf weeds. Winter Survival Diet: How cottontails adapt to cold months by eating woody vegetation, tree bark, twigs, and buds. Crepuscular Habits: Why these rabbits do most of their active foraging right at dawn and dusk. How to Support Them: Why maintaining native brush piles and grasses is better than feeding human food scraps. Join the discussion: Did you know wild rabbits switched from green grass to eating tree bark in the winter?
