Petroleum-based products such as Laxatone or Petromalt can be helpful in preventing or treating hairballs. Feed your rabbit a one-inch ribbon once or twice per week between meals during heavy shedding. Don't mix these products with Prozyme or food as they inhibit the absorption of nutrients. Treats Rabbits adore treats and they are fun to hand out, but be very conservative in what and how much you feed. An overload of starch or sugar can be very harmful for rabbits.
Oats are a popular treat.
Cheerios, crackers and shredded wheat are other starchy favorites. Raisins, or a small amount of any fruit, is also considered a treat. These are void of nutrition and extremely fattening. Feed your rabbit a wide variety of healthy vegetables for longevity and happiness. Choose only the freshest, highest quality pellets and hay.
