I'm sure he'll be fine. (sorry- said her before
)
I've heard of people giving their buns little bits of chicken nuggets (full of salt) etc. and their buns were fine. Of course you should never ever do this, but I doubt a tiny bit would do much harm.
I reckon if you gave some chocolate or something like that (it is toxic to them)though, then you might be in a bit of trouble. But I honestly don't understand people who give their rabbits, dogs etc. chocolate. It's utterly crazy! Not to mention it being toxic, but the unbelievably high sugar and fat content, and the fact that it's dairy??!!
Rabbits shouldn't really have much sugar in their diet. Hay, veggies and pellets should make up most of the diet, with a small amount of fruit as treats perhaps once a day or every few days. By small amount I mean a few chunks of apple, or a few slices of banana etc.
Perhaps just over the next few days cut back on fruit treats until the sugar is out his system. And like you said, keep an eye on him, but I'm sure he'll be just fine.
Well done for posting to ask- not everyone knows everything and you can only know by asking or researching.
Just next time look it up or ask beforehand. Even some vegetables etc. I need to quickly post on here for if I can't find on my safe veggies list!
You might have heard of craisins? These are dried cranberries that many people give rabbits as treats. I have a few times and they loved them. But no wonder really, because even though they have no added sugar, they are sooooo sugary, so even these I would probably avoid most of the time. Again, a few really aren't gonna do any harm.
Carrots you have to even be a little careful with, due to their sugar content, apparently. My rabbits usually get carrots with their dinner every other day, which some people might think is too much, but they have never had any problems.
Like I said before, I would just stick with completely untouched, fresh stuff ie. fresh vegetables (no tomato greens, anyting from the onion or bean family though) and a little fruit (no seeds or pips or stones though), pellets, and obviously lots and lots of hay. You can get some stuff from pet stores which is literally just like...dried jerusalum artichoke with nothing added at all, or dried rose petals, which should be fine too.
Hope this helps
