Bunnies and bananas

22 11:20:03

Question
I have found my 10 month old Jersey Wooly likes the taste of bananas. I hesitate to feed her any, although I have allowed her to take 2 or 3 bunny bites once every 3 or 4 days. Is this safe? Can she eat more? I'd hate to make her sick. Thanks for your help.

Answer
Bananas are a common bunny favorite!  The thing with fruits is to feed in moderation, which it sounds like you are doing.  Too much can cause diarrhea.

There's a list of safe food at http://www.adoptarabbit.org/articles/packet/abcvegi.html  Just be sure to only let her have a few small bites once or twice a week, no matter how she begs (and she will beg).
