 Aloha!
I’m Papa Papaya from Hawaii.
Fruit is a safe treat for a rabbit
in small quantities.
Hawaiian for rabbit is "lapaki."
High fiber fruits are the best
choice:
Sugar can upset the micro-organism balance in the cecum so try these in
limited quantities:
-
Apples
(NOT the seeds – they are toxic)
-
Pears
-
Nectarines
-
Peaches
-
Papaya
-
Strawberries
-
Raspberries
-
Bananas
and grapes (very limited amounts – they are very high in sugar)
-
Pineapple
(some varieties are too acidic and will burn mouth tissues - so
be careful)
DO NOT Give Your Rabbit These:
-
Human treats or
candies
-
Cereals
-
Nuts
-
Breads
-
Chocolate
-
Grains
like crackers or pasta
-
Pet store treats or
chews full of dried corn, sugar, etc.
All About Chewing:
-
Try apple branches
to give your rabbits something they can really get their teeth into . . . they
love chewing and apple branches are safe.
-
Pinecones
that have been cleaned and baked from rabbit suppliers are
suitable for chewing.
-
Many
woods are toxic to rabbits so be careful!
-
Untreated willow baskets, and chew blocks from the pet store are okay, too!
-
Timothy hay cubes and apple/timothy cubes available from Oxbow
Hay and American Pet Diner for chewing.
