I tried em early on with the boys before I had the girls....they would eat em, but not overly impressed!

I give Willow a couple of pieces (1/8" x lenght of pepper) each day and she loves it. She's 17-18 weeks old.

"nononono like green peppers, daddy!!"

None of our 7 buns like them. I tried a few times.

I try to give them something new or different every week or so.

Last week it was pear....yummie say the buns.

This week it was dried papaya....two ears up from the buns.

I've got some fresh strawberries that they might get tonight.

Mocha didn't like bell pepper at all. Of course,it's technically a fruit and he's refused all fruit to date: cucumber,apple, banana, grapes, pears, pea pods. Yes, cucumbers and pea pods arefruit in the literal botany sense.

Funny how they are all rabbits but all different.

Willow is crazy for fruit :bunnydance:so much so that ittakes a lot of willpower not to feed it too her all day........butwon't touch any kind of bread or cracker

What about a red bell pepper? I may try one for Chinny. Green if thats the only color ok lol Or maybe orange.....

Funny, I HATE bell peppers, yet Ill buy em for a animal. Oh anyone feedbrussel sprouts? Thought about those too. And I might get someraddichio. Well, Ill decide what to try and get it this week. So far,nothing has bothered her tummy *YEA* She even had some fresh banana.Ate it for me yesterday!

I've actually heard from several breeders and other people here thatthis is incorrect. It goes along with the belief that theyshouldn't have veggies until 12 weeks or 6 months or whatever thenumber. As long as it doesn't upset their tummy they can haveit. I started Orion and Saphy at 6 wks and they have donefine. None of my buns waited the "proper" amount of time forveggies or fruit and they are all happy. I've never had anyill effects and neither have any of the people I've talked to.

I just watch her poop.........as long as it's firm and she is still going through hay like a small mower, I think she's ok

 

[samandshawn]

I stillwouldn't risk it with my baby's because their Tums are sensitive at aYoung age and you don't know whats happening in side.

That would be a lop with great ear control :wink:.

When Binkie gets real mad or excited, she can hold both ears up pretty well :shock:.
