I get rice treats from petco and my rabbits LOVE them. As soon as I pull out the package they go nuts for them. Definitely think your bun would like them too. ]
I also would recommend the Kaytee forti diet healthy bits. My rabbits love these, too. got these from my local grocery store, so idk where theyd be available for you!
Then these corn treats. You can either pop them or let the bunnies eat it like it is. Mine love these as well! got these from petco.
Sorry, mickeyandluna, but none of these products should be fed to a rabbit. Rice, seeds, corn -- none should be fed to a rabbit. General rule of thumb is that store bought treats are baad.
MyBeardedBunny, your new bunny is adorable. He is right at the age of being considered an adult (6-7 months). That means he can have an adult diet.
- unlimited grass hay (no alfalfa)
- plain, timothy-based pellets (about 1/4 cup per day)
- daily greens (slowly introduced if he hasn't had them before)
- occasional treat of fresh (or dried) fruit - not until he's used to a diet that includes daily greens. 1 tbsps worth max per day
To introduce greens (think dark leaf lettuces, basil, cilantro, parsley, mint...) offer a small (palm-size) amount of a chosen green. If he takes it, offer the same for a couple days in a row. You'll be checking for any change in poos. If they get mushy, back off and give him time to return to normal. Then you can try a different green. If he tolerates the first green, then you add that to your list of things he can eat and try another.
Once you have a variety of greens, he can work up to eating 2-4 cups of greens every day.
My vet said all of these treats were fine as long as they were fed in moderation
Vets are often wrong - especially when it comes to rabbits.
