Bad Rabbit Food: What NOT To Feed Your Bunny

Can rabbits eat peanut butter

I have an 8monty old bunny and my dad just bought lettuce for her Italian and Ceaser lite which one do I feed her? And if not which one should I not feed her?

He is gasping for air would it just ptolong his death by breatjing on his mouth a little and could it have been poison my husband gave him a peach and he mightve gotten some of the pit is that poisonous

I give my bunny a full bowl of food and fill up the hay bin in the mornings but maybe three hours later, it's all gone. Do I keep re filling his food and hay or is there a limit bunnies should eat a day?

Roy, rabbits should not have nuts. It can make them sick or die. You should also not give rabbits full celery sticks because the string in them and clog the intestines.

I have a baby nine week old tomorrow how do I make sure she's getting a healthy diet

A bit of banana PEEL is better than banana itself (too much sugar)

I raise my rabbits and they eat lots of head l lettuce tons of grass, potatoes, tomatoes, chili peppers, thistles, dandelion, hay, beans, morning glory leaves, lots of clover, onion tops, carrots, beer, Apple's, pears, and I've never had any trouble no kidding only bad thing is they'll eat a five gallon bucket a day if you put it in front of them there free range unless one is pregnant best part is I only have to pull the lawn mower out a couple times of year! Good Luck! And they eat a bunch of other plants and flowers that I don't know what they are.

Can bunnys die from eating clover!?

Can bunny's eat a potatoes or not

Zendaya Rose

Bunnies are vegetarians.

So if i was to get a bunny, would i be able to give him, like left ocer scraps from meat, chicken breast or ham...

So my bunny started chewing on my dogs rawhide chewing stick. Is that ok?

I really thought lettuce was okay to give me and my boyfriend just purchased a baby boy dwarf bunny and just thinking it's crazy the pet shop doesn't mention anything about what they can't eat !!! They made it sound like lettuce was okay actually so happy for your site great read thank you !

can i feed my baby bunny (XD) carrots?

Please look up the definition of laudanum

I enjoy your site because it is so informative.I find the answers to all of my questions. Your facts could save someone's loved pet! Apparently we are taking Bugs Bunny too seriously,because mine isn't crazy about carrots ! Your info on lettuce was so enlightening. TY

Can bunny eat onions

My son's bunny died a day after being fed baby spinach & spring mix. I don't understand. I want to get him a new bunny, but afraid of feeding spinach and spring mix.

stop feeding your bunnies vegatable oil ishola! your killing the rabbits, take them to the vet cause your just gonna kill all of them

Ishola... WHY are you giving vegetable oil? 12 of your rabbits died, and you're still doing the same thing?? Take the living rabbits to the vet NOW. You poisoned them

My rabbits are newly weaned and they are dying with big belly. I have being given vegetable oil but still dying please help me I lost 12 within a week

I have a baby bunny and she is a girl if you have baby bunnies or a baby bunny make sure to give it lots of love take it out of its cage and play with it don't be afraid to pet it,rabbits are friendly little creatures and Love attention from you and play with them all you can when they are little so when they grow up they won't scratch and bite.Keep your bunny close to your heart. In contrast, keep your bunny or bunnies healthy and give love to your bunny or bunnies. Love, The Bunny Person

My 3 yr old bunny from the get go has basically hated anything to do with pellets. Most Rabbit food we have bought him he has not liked and after a few days still no go regards to eating it!! I basically given him sunflower unsaled seeds, some of the smaller things you find in other pet foods . Loves Romaine lettuce, carrots etc. Anyone have any other advice. He gets out daily for exercise and we change his cage very frequent, every 4-5 days, water is refilled every day. Any advice ??

Cool, my bunny is called Flopsy and I had her almost 2 years now

Grace, it doesnt say let them eat carrots...

Well, my bunny Meatloaf eats just about everything he shouldn't (I apparently looked at some bad sources) we have always fed him like this for 2 years now and he never had one single issue. My bunny is a boss

really good tips in this

Awful sources! Me and my friend bought her first rabbit and we fed it Timothy Hay, Carrots and the next week passed, and he DIED! Turns out carrots have too much sugar! PetHELPFUL!? More like PetKILLER! :( :(

Hello I have read through all of these comments and remember there are no stupid questions but I did come across one I found interesting it was the one about consuming arsenic, just so you know as humans we do consume arsenic. Google search toxins and poisons naturally occurring in foods. Then search all preservatives and their chemical make up. Daily humans produce and consume more toxins than they actually realize.

Hi I bought my rabbit to show for the fair he's a Califorian rabbit but I didn't know they were going to get him sold and killed. My mom paid as much money for me to keep my rabbit alive. Well since we had him he's a sweet rabbit, he's like a little puppy! People say not to feed them this and that, well I feed him whatever he likes. He'll smell it before he eats it and if he likes the smell and thinks it safe he'll eat it. My rabbit is an outdoor pet. At night he goes inside his cage or if it gets too hot we'll bring him inside until it cools down. My rabbit absolutely hates Timothy hay, I've bought him more than 10 different name brands. I gave him some alfalfa to see if he'll like it, and he absoultely loved it so we fed him that as part as his diet. He hasn't died or got sick so it's safe for some rabbits.

thank you so much I will be getting a rabbit soon and now I know what to feed them and not to feed them

THANK YOU

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

My bunny Snowball eats a lot of cabbage and she's fine! In fact, when we first got her the only thing other than hay that she would eat was cabbage, cabbage, cabbage!

My son purchased a Norwegian Dwarf for Father's Day two years ago. He's a real character. Rabbits crave attention so don't be afraid to pet them and give them lots of love. I named him Dexter. He was on his way to be live feed for snakes. I can hardly believe that breeders sell these cute creatures for snake consumption. My rabbit loves pears, bananas, apples, carrots, rolled oats and timothy hay. I find that Oxbow has the best products on the market. I've had rabbits for30 years. He lives in my apartment and has freedom to roam the apartment. He's partially litter box trained. I give him a small amount of alfalfa once a week. Fresh water every day. He loves when I chase him around the apartment. He has a nice life. I have to take him to the vet to have his nails clipped. Iy's too stressful for me to clip them. The last Norwegian Dwarf I had lived 1 years. He was a sweet rabbit. I've had better luck with male rabbits than females.. Rabbits are very curious little animals. They are high maintenance and are not a pet to bget for small children as they require a lot of work.

Hi guys I work and a bunny refuge we grow our own greens for over 40 bunnys we never give them iceberg lettuce or cucumber also my bunny sketch dose not eat carrots we also give them oxbow pellets and fresh hay the baby's need loosen hay same with pregnant mothers hope this helps oh and all the bunnys live inside and don't forget toys and boxs to hide and play in. ADOPT NOT SHOP!!!!!

Bunny's belong INSIDE! I have had my bunny 6 years now. He gets lots of timothy hay, he does NOT get tap water. I give him spring water with bunny vitamin drops. NO iceberg lettuce!!

Mine loves, kale, green leaf lettuce, cilantro, dandelion leaves, green carrot tips, curly parsley, spinach, dark tips off romaine. Greens are important. Make sure U ive high quality pellets as well. NOTHING from a supermarket. Carrots are NOT a food source either, more of a treat. Too high in sugar. I give him a few pieces a week & a slice of apple & banana once a week. Keep the water clean as well as the cage. LOTS of timothy hay!! Fiber is big for them.THey like to play & chew on empty toilet paper rolls which is OK. It keeps them busy & teeth trimmed. Good luck!

Wish I read this yesterday. Today I fed my 3 baby bunnies white clover and they all died. Please, if you love your bunnies, don't feed them any clovers.

Can you feed them hey

Can u give rabbits Grapes

Can you keep your rabbits outside

well probably not try it and see.

Hi, i bought my bun Mello from a petstore and she was sneezing and the next day she had boogers in her nose so i took her back to the petstore and traded her in for my girl Smokie. The petstore is treating Mello and will sell her bavk to me once she is well. My question for you is both my girls are from the same litter and have only been seperated for about a week will i be able to just put them together immediately or will i have to reintroduce them

I read the part about the lettuce and i want to say: I have fed my rabbits lettuce all of their lives and there has never been any problems. they love lettuce and it doesn't harm them in any way. So does it matter what breed of rabbit they are?

First try pellets. If your bunny is not eating,try a new kind also don't feed it lettace! My bunnies LOVE snow peas.try those.

My grandma is giving me a Red bunnie and i dont know if i just give it bunnie pellets and lettace, i would very much like to know thank you and please no mean comments

DO NOT FEED ICEBERG LETTUCE AND CUCUMBER TO YOUR RABBITS, for goodness' sake!!! Please, please, go to rabbit.org for more info on proper rabbit care and consult your vet if your rabbits are sick and NOT pet shops! Majority of the pet shops are IGNORANT to the wellbeing of rabbits. Their only purpose is sell you the rabbits (mostly from backyard/unethical/illegal breeders) and let you deal with the animal. The WORST place to seek advice from are the pet shops!

Hi everyone,I have 2 rabbits that died today Ted was nearly 9 years old and Thumper about 8 1/2 both were in good health last night.

I gave them half an Iceberg lettuce each and some carrots and cucumber yesterday thinking it was a treat in this warm weather but after reading the threads on here to try and find a reason I realise it was a bad idea,they have had iceberg in the past but in small amounts,please take care with your feeding we have had rabbits for years but never knew about this as always thought it was a natural food.

Petshops should give more info ????

I gat my bunny maby a week or so ago, and I fed him lettuce. Iceberg lettuce. I didnt know it could die. Please please please can someone tell me if comit needs to go to the vet. Im scared about him dieing. Im 10 and I love my bunny

I strongly have to disagree with this article. You say no clover, thats one thing that rabbits LOVE. Wild rabbits eat it all the time and so do mine, I have never had an issue. As a show rabbit owner I only want top wuality for mine. My vet even recommends clover...

So I really don't trust this article

Bunniez, I would like to ask you a few questions about my Rabbits,

Congratulation on maintaining a great hub. My hub is about baby names and baby names meaning - All suggestion baby naming.

Can rabbits eat green onions?

Before deciding to have a pet rabbit, one must know what they should eat and should not eat. Our rabbit of course loves to eat carrots and every time we attempted to give the rabbit other food, the rabbit wouldn't dare to eat except for a few grasses.

so what IS good to feed my rabbit

Have been reading through the posts and it seems to that a lot of people on here should forget about getting a rabbit as a pet as they clearly have no clue as to how to look after them. Rabbits are not like cats, dogs or other pets..they are very fragile in the sense that so many things can upset the balace in rabbits leading to ill health and worse still "death". Think of raising your rabbit in the same terms as raising a baby..in dealing with a new baby we learn from others within society, others experience becomes our experience which we pass on. Ask questions, read articles and books, google it..do all this before you even consider getting a rabbit and perhaps then you will be able to make an informed choice as to whether a rabbit is right for you. And "please" as the above poster commented "IF YOUR RABBIT IS SICK, TAKE IT TO THE VET".......proud owner of a Black Havana, American Sable, Hotot and soon to be 2 Baby Lilacs..and just cosider this, the average spend on my 2 babies is £400 or $600 just for starters in the first year and this does not include food or unexpected vet bills....so please bear the long term cost in mind when making a decision....Scottish and proud :)

1. Y'all need Jesus

2. Y'all need to learn to spell

3. If it seems like your rabbit is sick, chances are it is TAKE IT TO THE VET!!!

my bunny ate alot of lettece is that okay for her

please help me

no. Im pretty sure most of the info on here is wrong. I have called serval vets asking what to feed my bunny. and rabbits loe romane lettuce. they just cant have ice berg! and when i got her..she loved clovers and was wild! and ate them all the time!

My rabbit got into some pumkin cake. Can this be harmful to him? Thank God it was a small amount. Please help!!!!! Thanks.

"...but you wouldn't eat a product that only contained small amounts of arsenic would you?"

Bit simplistic reasoning here. People are happy to eat apples even though they contain small amounts of cyanide.

hey im getting a bunnie what should i includ for food??? help me please im confuzed!!!

Feeding rabbits lettuce gives them severe diharea. So I do NOT recomend you feed your rabbit any kind of lettuce romaine or not.

im not sure how trustworthy this site is as it says not to give your rabbit alfalfa hay or clover, yet im buying rabbit food that is reccomended by vets and it has both of these things in it. :(

Our grandson fed the pet rabbit gum. Any suggestions as to what to do for the rabbit?

... Everyone. If you're interested in learning about proper rabbit care, read through http://www.rabbit.org or a new wiki being started at http://www.wabbitwiki.com . If you guys found this article, I am sure you can also do a proper google search to answer the questions you have instead of posting as comments.

WHY can't a rabbit have Clover or Parsnips?

Here Are The Things That Are Bad To Feed Your Rabbit/Bunny:Clover, Foxglove, Honeysuckle, Iris, Hemlock, Poppies, Deadly Nightshade, Buttercups, Bluebells, Arum Lilies, Ivy, Daffodils and other bulbs, Primulas, Jasmines, Fairy Primrose, Dahlia, Delphiniums, Larkspur, Snowdrops, Tulips Dried Fruits Lettuce (Note:Only Romaine Lettuce Not Much) Corn Human Food Hamster/Or Pellets That Isn't Rabbit/Bunny Pellets If You Have A Yard That Only Has Grass (Note: No Clovers) So Only Grass Is The Safest Slides And Fence Are Ok And Onions Are Bad Only A Bit Of Banana Atleast Once Day Cause Its Very Sugary

i feed wild rabbits cow milk is that ok

Can bunnies eat berries and nuts

A lot of that doesn't seem true at all my rabbit has lettuce a lot and he loves and he has been with me for more than 2 years and there hasn't been any problems with his health.

hey coco you should feed your bunny salt blocks its a great treat for bunnys

can my bunny eat peanut butter its a holland lop

potatoe tops? not sure what that is. can they have just a potatoe?

my rabbit loves dandelions, what else should i feed her? :)

I haven't been able to get my rabbit pellet food for about a month in a half. I have been feeding her lettuce leaves and carrots and sometimes bananas and onions and tomatoes. She is a little smaller than she was. I am worried because she is usually bigger. What should I do??? I am going to get her some other food possibly tomorrow or this weekend. Should I just hurry and get it immediantly or will she be ok the next few days???

How old does my rabbit have to be to eat carrots and other veggies bc when i first got them they said not to give it to them until there older but i dont know when that is they are 15 weeks old now???

Please tell me because i really dont want to kill them

You should try Timothy hay, it is nutrient rich and has both dietary and dental benefits. You can view a bunch of cool facts out about rabbit food at http://www.rabbitholehay.com/rabbit-facts/timothy/

Wazz up me and my family found all of these articles VERY helpful

hi i have a flemish gaint, i feed him a bowl full of veges and fruit each morning and night this includes mesculen greens (will this type of lettuce up set his tummy?) also capsicum,carrot,sliced apple,alfalfa sprouts and also a little bit of banana as a treat are theses foods ok ??

Everyone seems to keep saying bunnies cant have lettuce well its iceburg lettuce they can not have but romaine lettuce is good for them and a few other lettuces i cant remember them right now.

@Kelly They are mating. Make sure they are spayed/nutered if you can't take care of baby bunnies.

@Andrea You should talk to a guniea pig breeder, not comment on a old bunny article.

my bunny is a normal lopped ear and he's kinda big about a good size and my sister has a darf rabbit and mine keeps getting on my sisters if not the smaller one is doing something with his bottom. what is going on?

My neighbors recently found a baby cottontail rabbit about 5 weeks old. They can't take care of it because it is a female rabbit and they have to males. (I know that they need to be separated at a certain age) They think the mother is dead but I don't because through some simple research I found that the mother only comes out at night to feed her babies, and this was during the day. I don't want it to get sick and I am really worried because I really love animals and it would break my heart to have on fade in my arms. I know this hub is old but I need to know. I feel like it needs specail care. I love them so much I already have a tear in my eye just from thinking about it. Any rehabillitation centers in northern N.J. (US) you reccomend..... please help me!!

I have had rabbits my whole life and I used to feed my rabbit lettuce and potatoes and some of the other things you say not to give her and she only had the hay that she slept on but she lived a long time. I try to give my new rabbit just what is said to be safe but I was reading about her pellets and people where saying not to give her lots but they are her favourite thing and she is in perfect health and has loads of energy. I think people can be over cautious with rabbits some times. rabbits eat what they can get in the wild and they seem to be doing rather well.

Our bunny LOVES romaine lettuce--he prefers that to the timothy pellets. So far so good, he seems just fine. He likes the occasional carrot, unpeeled. Other than the yummy little seeds in the Kaytee Fiesta food, he won't eat any of it--he just tosses it out of the food bowl and digs for the treats. We do feed him Timothy hay, so hopefully he's getting his nutrients. But he loves Romaine lettuce, I can't imagine not giving it to him now. I think he's telling me he doesn't love processed pellets. Smart rabbit maybe.

I think this topic requires some common sense, and some testing, to see what the bunnies like and how they react to different foods. Of course, I have no vested interest in any pet food company, I'm just trying to take care of our rabbit.

I found this little rabbit in my backyard, and it seems to be injured o.o i have no clue what to do with it.

just got a rabbitt he is so cool what can i feed him?

I am quite concerned about my Rabbit, it seems to be stuck in my dogs throat? Should I take him to the vets or let nature take it's course? Oh and he's been on a lettuce binge.... Help!

thanks this was all really good info xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I just got a bunny and i am not quite sure what to do or how to do it like for instance clipping your bunnies nails or should you give your bunny carrots,lettuce,or celery!?

thanks now i know not to let my little bunny get in peanutbutter jar

ww do not feed your rabbit peanut butter, peanuts are a legume, not to mention the amount of sugar in peanut butter. This can kill your rabbit since their stomachs and cecum's are not meant to digest this. Can cause gas and bloating not good
