I don't know much about rabbit nutrition, so please bear with me.... I just know I have a fussy bunny! He won't eat many veggies, I haven't found one that he will eat every time yet. He does however, love banana, but he isn't allowed much. One other thing I have found that he loves, is my rats' Harlan Teklan lab blocks. He loves them! He free-ranges my room, and often finds one that has fallen out of the cage, or one that I have dropped, etc, and pounces on it, and noms it down. He also eagerly snatched the one my sister offered him, becuase she didn't believe me. Now, are these bad for him, and should I start trying my best to ensure none fall to where he can get them, or will they be all right as an occasional treat? He is overweight, so I am trying to get him to lose weight. He does get pellets, morning and night, but I still think I may be giving him too much, as he doesn't always finish them right away, so I'm not underfeeding him. He just loves them!

I don't know if any of this is bad for him? I do remember reading something about corn, but my memory fails, and I'm too lazy to look it up right now. I figured I could just bleed you guys.
