can rabbits eat...

Question
can rabbits eat raisons and that dry corn that you feed squirrels?

Answer
Dear Fae,

A very few raisins can be given as a treat.  But *never* give a rabbit corn.  The hulls are made of an undigestible polysaccharide that even herbivores cannot digest.  Corn--cooked, raw, or crushed--can cause potentially deadly intestinal impactions.  Rabbits are not rodents like squirrels, and their diets are completely different from what a squirrel should eat.

Good luck!
