Are Bunnies Allowed To Eat Chicken?
Xena writes: My bunny Floppie always gets really hungry after breakfast and dinner then it goes into the bin and eats the chicken scraps, only the chicken scraps. Is this okay? No Xena, this is not okay, for several reasons. The first reason is that a rabbit’s tummy can only process grass, hay, vegetables and other plant materials. Whilst rabbits will get into foods that they would not normally have access to in the wild, it does not mean it is good for them and I would hate for Floppie to get sick and die because you have been letting her into the bin to eat chicken scraps. First rule. Keep your bin away from your bunny, or your bunny away from your bin! Secondly, your rabbit should never be getting hungry. Bunnies have very interesting and special tummies that need to have food in them all the time. This is why so many sites and pet stores tell you to always give your rabbit hay. No matter what time of day it is, whether it is in the middle of the night or in the afternoon or any oth
