My grandfather bred rabbits for ten years and I have had two as pets. The second one is now 8.5 years old. I also work with Gainesville Rabbit Rescue in FL. In my experience, NEVER give them bread or crackers or things with grain. They can’t digest it. A very little bit (including corn) won’t hurt them, but they don’t digest it. It just passes through. Too much can stop up their very sensitive digestive system and it all has no nutritional value for them. Ironically, a rabbit’s diet is closer to that of a horse than any other animal, even mice. Milk products are another no no. Fruits are good but in moderation, I can’t think of any that are bad for them. Never let them have seeds of any fruit, maybe strawberries and kiwi as an exception. Regular potatoes= bad for bunnies. Sweet potatoes= good for bunnies. Sweet potatoes have a lot of the same vitamins that carrots do, hence the orange color in both. Cabbage and broccoli in severe moderation. Broccoli usually goes well if introduced to their diet slowly but I would avoid cabbage at all costs. My grandfather fed his rabbits cabbage once and lost like 20 to severe diarrhea within 24 hours. At the same time, any high water content food (like celery) can lead to diarrhea if you give them too much. Diarrhea is a big deal in rabbits. My best suggestion if your rabbit has diarrhea is to keep them on a strictly hay (timothy) diet for a few days until their system evens out. Romaine lettuce and most green, leafy veggies are great, but DO NOT give them iceberg lettuce. It has no nutritional value and a high water content that could give them diarrhea so I would strongly suggest to avoid it entirely.
Ideally, a rabbits diet should be 1/2 hay (let them eat as much of it as they want), 1/4 pellets (plain, not the kind with little treats in it; maybe a cup a day, depending on the size of the rabbit. Too much makes them fat) and 1/4 fresh veggies. They can have fruits as a snack but I wouldn’t do more than once every 2-3 days. A strawberry a day is acceptable or an apple slice a day but bananas have high sugar content so I would split it into halves or quarters and not give them more than a total of one banana a week.
Email if you have any other questions and I’ll do my best. Punkbunny4christ@aol.com

I drop a leave a response when I especially enjoy a
post on a website or if I have something to add to the conversation.
Usually it’s caused by the sincerness displayed in the post I looked at. And on this post Rabbit Safe Foods | Maholia. I was excited enough to post a thought I actually do have 2 questions for you if it’s okay.
Could it be simply me or does it appear like
a few of these remarks come across like left by brain dead individuals? And, if you are writing on other online social sites, I would like to keep up with you.
Would you make a list the complete urls of all your community pages like your Facebook page, twitter
feed, or linkedin profile?

It think some bunny owners are a bit too precious with this whole diet thing. Use common sense. Everything in moderation, really. I know this sounds irresponsible, but if my rabbit decides to eat corn, well I also believe that their judgement is better than mine when it comes to sensing their food and diet. I’m quite liberal though..

I read somewhere that chocolates are not good for dogs as well as human toothpaste. So no matter how much I want my dogs to enjoy my favorite food, I stop myself from giving them. Anyway I treat them regularly with toys to play and chew... the last one I got is from biteem

my rabbits have had many apples…I’ve watched them eat them and what happens to the seeds is they disappear into the bedding. Also remember that yes the seeds are poisonous but they aren’t immediately deadly. You have to eat ALOT of apple seeds to kill a body.

My dog was excellent on the bike and we enjoyed many rides together. I held onto her leash and the handle bar and she trotted beside me happily. However, it is the off leash dogs in the neighbourhood who give us trouble. They run after my dog and try to sniff her butt. One day a border collie came out of an orchard and attacked her hind end. She turned to defend herself and I went flying over the handle bars and crashed onto my shoulder on the pavement and heard a crack. Needless to say I have never taken my dog bike riding again.

Hi! Quick question that’s completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when viewing from my iphone. I’m
trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to correct this
problem. If you have any recommendations, please share.
Cheers!

I bike with up to 4 dogs at once, a Doberman Pknscher, German Pinscher and 2 Miniature Pinscher fosters. To be safe I ride an adult trike, have the leashes secured to my waist and have all dogs basic obed trained. I used to bike my showdogs 20 yrs ago but find the trike is better. I can’t be pulled over. The Dobe and German Pins often wear backpacks. I go up to 30 mins/3 miles. The dogs love it.
