Also there are foods such as banana, pear and raspberry on the 'safe' list that should be only fed as treats for example due to their high sugar content.

You also shouldnt feed full size corn esp the PAH dried corn, partly that's because the individual bits of corn are not easily digested and could possibly cause a gut blockage, and partly because they are way too starchy to be good for a bun's diet or digestion. As buns are very sensitive to disturbances in their GI tract so i avoid it! Although other people do feed buns it with no problems, i just wont risk it.

re: Rabbit Foods - Whats Safe and Whats Dangerous

I got it from another forum, which is usually a good reliable forum and the link they got it from was this


Safe Food for Rabbits


But following on from what you say, i have seen a few different lists and all the lists list everything differently so sometimes its hard to tell!

Hmmm yeh I know its hard, i think really we have to use our common sense and judgement, we're all still learning, i learn something from my rabbits everyday, they never fail to amaze me!! lol

Oh i was going to add too, if you are changing a buns food do it gradually and just a little advise, I feed my buns in the evening, wild bunnies feed at dawn and dusk, so you may find your buns eat more in the evening and overnight rather than in the day.

re: Rabbit Foods - Whats Safe and Whats Dangerous

Norman gets his evening meal when I go to bed about 11ish because its the only way i can get him to stop following me so I can pen off the kitchen and sneak off to bed! Although he managed to jump over the penned section this morn when he heard me get up and was running round my bedroom. Nic cubes are 2 high at the min looks like they will be going 3....life would be easier if I had a door on my kitchen! x

Good idea but she already has the NIC grids so she may aswell just use them to make it a bit higher to save money!

I spent £100 on NIC grids and now i dont even need any of them!!

re: Rabbit Foods - Whats Safe and Whats Dangerous

awwww maybe you could make an indoor gym type whats the word im looking for ummmmm oh yes obstacle course for stan!!!!

If I had mine indoor or if i hadnt just bought that huge cage I would have got some off you!

Even the cage im hardly using now!!! Just spent £65 getting it few weeks ago and to be honest only used it a handful of times.... with the weather being so nice now I feel bad bringing them in just so I can pet them etc.... also daisy has really gotten used to us going up to her and stroking her even when shes running free and flake is getting better! So I may have this brand new cage which I dont really need....dont wanna tell hubby though as I really persuaded him how much I needed it etc lol!

Yeah but it might come in useful in the winter as i bet you will want to start bringing them in a bit more again!! Shame it wasnt the ferplast 140 one, i would have had it off you! Mind you i suppose one of them would be ok, as its only to put his food and water in, as he does get free run but just need somewhere to keep his food! I might go P@H tomorrow and see if they still have them!!
