treats

Question
at what age can you start to feed a bunny carrot and yogurt treats?

Answer
Hi Alan. Honestly your bunny will be healthier if you do not feed him these type of treats. Your bunny should have it's pellets and good grass hay at all times. If you want to treat your bunny try giving it a tiny bit of old fashioned rolled oats. Less than a teaspoon and only about three times a week. They also like barley but again just a bit. Both of these will put weight on your bunny and if you give him very much he will not eat his regular food. Bunnies love the twigs from apple trees and can have a small piece daily. Make sure the tree has not been sprayed with insecticide. Fresh fruits and vegetables usually cause problems more often than not so I don't suggest that you feed them. If your bunny gets lots of hay you may also give your bunny 2-3 sunflower seed kernels a couple of times a week. These are very high in fat so twice a week is plenty and just a couple. Do not give your bunny corn, or any of the prepared treats. Most have too much starch and sugar for your bunny and it just isn't good for him. Oh, they can have a small slice of sweet potato a couple of times a week also. Again, just a small piece. Hope this helps.   Pat
