Flax Seed?

[BrittsBunny]

Is it safe to give rabbits flax seed? If so, does it work? I give flax seed to my horse in order to improve his coat...I assume it would work the same for a rabbit?

Anyone :?

I am not going to say for sure but I would think since horses can have it rabbits can. Not that they are the same but usually speaking rabbits and horses eat about the same.

No one else knows?

Well even though horses are large animals, they can be very fragile like rabbits it seems...I wouldn't think flax seed would hurt rabbits, but then again, I could be wrong.

I am always up for natural, home remedies that might improve a rabbit's coat, nutrition, behavior, etc.

Iget my Flax Seeds from the Supermarket. (Bob's Red Mill Flax Seed).

It's used sparingly, as I only give a pinch once in a while. The bunnies love it.

I give it, both plain seeds and sometimes when I make my own bunny cookies. All my bunnies go nuts for the seeds. I figure a pinch every now and again won't hurt, and it should help. I used to give it a lot to try to help Muffin, who seems to shed constantly. I didn't see a big improvement, though.

Its good in moderation. Like most things.

We give our dogs flax seed. We get the liquid gels and poke a hole in it and squeeze it over their dry food. I assume that it would alright to do the same, just maybe not a whole liquid gel for one bunny. if that makes sense.
