While this is true, it is far safer and cheaper to satisfy that urge with baskets, untreated wood, and cardboard boxes. These are grain products which may be supplemented with dehydrated vegetables, and shaped into a form which mimics a vegetable product. There is no advantage to feeding these over the real vegetable. The high carbohydrate content of these snacks means they are robbing your rabbit of important fiber and overloading him with sugars. The high sugar is the culprit here.
Many rabbits have a sweet tooth, but sweetness means a high content of sugars.
As we discussed above, excessive sugar is converted to fat, or will pass into the cecum where the bacteria will use it for energy and then rapidly overgrow, possibly leading to bacterial imbalance and gi stasis. The same can occur after feeding too much fruit. Vitamin supplements These are largely unnecessary. While special health situations may require nutrient supplements, these are best handled after consultation with your veterinarian. It is tempting to show your love for your rabbit by purchasing treats for her.
