Pet Forum / Mammals / Rabbits / February 2008How bad have I been?
On a whim I gave a cracker to Oreo and Gracie. Then my brain activated and I looked it up on the web, which said don't do that. As it turned out Oreo only ate half of his, although Gracie inhaled hers. Is this something I should worry about, or just chalk up to experience? Joe  SignatureTo email me shift the letters in my address back one A plain cracker between two rabbits will really do no harm. Next time make it some carrot. They'll like it even more, plus it's good for them. :-D Professor, The Jump, Zolo, Wizard, & Magic Brenda >On a whim I gave a cracker to Oreo and Gracie.

Once the thunder of the buns' high five dies down, you will probably want to stay away from starchy foods like crackers - poopy butt could follow - and that's what I'd watch for, but I don't think ONE cracker will hurt anybun ONE time. Patches was a cracker NUT - but I used to only give her a sliver of a saltine once in awhile. But if she discovered me snacking on a cracker she would streeeeetched way up on her hind legs with her little nose just sniffing away in the general direction of my mouth - the Rotten Rabbit version of "Whatcha eatin? Whatcha got there? Is that a cracker? C'mere...lemme smell your breath." :-) Laurie Rabbits can smell an un pealed apple, in your pocket, two rooms away! :-D Professor, The Jump, Zolo, Wizard, & Magic Brenda > > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > > > On a whim I gave a cracker to Oreo and Gracie.

I just cant get her to eat much of her pellets!! today, while i was sitting here watching Tv, all of a sudden she comes running in with a paper muffin cup in her mouth.. it still had a bit of muffin inside, i had thrown it away... darn bunny went into the trash!!!!!!!!!!!!! poor thing seems so hungry!!!.. she does now eat some hay and pellets.. but obviously she is hungry... i just dont know what to do anymore... she still gets her parsley every day which she loves. one carrot and a piece of banana.. and all of the pellets and hay she can eat... does anyone have any more suggestions???? remember, she has in the past few months been weaned off of cracker type treats. so she is and will always be a cracker addict... LOL thanks my dear friends. marylee >> terbo...@aol.com wrote: > thank you Laurie. > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > weaned off of cracker type treats. so she is and will always be a > cracker addict... LOL thanks my dear friends. What kind of hay are you giving? I've found that the rabbits I've had didn't all like the same kind. My current two will eat mountain grass eagerly, but have to get really hungry to eat timothy. Basically, make available healthy stuff, when bunnies are hungry, they'll eat. If you give them what they want they'll hold out for that. So just say no to the bad stuff. my $.02 worth Joe SignatureTo email me shift the letters in my address back one Any bunny will eat Bunnybale, but you'll pay for it! .... And then they'll be spoiled rotten Nhu's rabbits will not eat anything else!

They are just like little kids - they will ALWAYS want yummy junk-food but we have to be mean parents and make sure that they get the things that are good for them. It's soooo hard to resist but we have to. Wendy Z It took me a long time to figure out what gave Jump Poopy butt. You'll never guess! ........... Alfalfa! Believe it!

Now!!!!! Gracie & Oreo Joe, crackers to buns are the equivalent of a bad addiction to humans, such as chocolate, smoking or drugs. You can not just give one. There will be anarchy and hell to pay, believe me. My first lop, Dumplings, would search the grocery bags with a fine tooth comb and seek out any small crumb to be found. It is a sad thing to see a bun coming down off of a cracker high.

You can't be too careful. It's a terrible thing and you really shouldn't be propogating (sp?) the habit along to your furkids. ;-) Next thing you know we'll have to be opening a halfway house for crackerheads... :-) Laurie >>> Joe, crackers to buns are the equivalent of a bad addiction to >>> humans, such as chocolate, smoking or drugs.

Bummer, Oreo's kind of wandering around asking various things in the room if they know where the crackers are. He's carrying a cracker pipe in his mouth. Time for Bunnies Anonymous I guess. It's all my fault ... Joe SignatureTo email me shift the letters in my address back one Make sure to watch the silverware, they may attempt to pawn something to support that habit. And please keep it healthy, give low sodium crackers.
