rabbits and bread?

Question
Hi
I have 3 rex rabbits one which has recently given birth to 9 babies!
i have heard this romour that rabbits can eat dried out bread.
Is this true? If they do is it healty for them.

Answer
Dear Sophie,

Dried bread can be given occasionally and in very tiny amounts as a treat.  But it's junk food, and must be limited to prevent GI upset.  Please read:

For help with the babies, please read:

Good luck
