is sugar snacks (crasins,banana,apple,oats) ok for a skinny young (3 1/2
months) bunny and if is any amount too much? even if poopy but does not
occur ?                   Thanks for any and all advice   Janice

Hi Janice,

Personally, I would not feed any sugary snack or fruit to a baby rabbit.
Their digestive systems are still forming.

Is your rabbit getting unlimited pellets? Babies need lots of food as
they grown and develop.

If you are feeding your rabbit unlimited pellets and hay, and she still
is skinny -- I would take her in for a vet check-up. She could have a
parasite of something else going on. Normally, a vet would want you to
bring in some of her droppings for a fecal float test.

Oh Rhonda I forgot to tell you he does not seem to eat his cecals we
find 3 to 4 bunches of them each day . Could this be why he seems to eat
a lot but not gain weight ???

Ronda ,Tuffy gets unlimited hay pellets and vegies the only thing we
limit are treats (crasins oats banana ect...) He has been to the vet 2
times for snuffles but the vet hasn't metioned anything about the
skinnyness (IS THAT A WORD ??? ) HEHE He eats exactly what theother one
eats and Guinea is mildly fat if it was a parasite wouldn;t Guinea have
it too ??Could Tuffy be like thoes lucky humans that can eat everything
in sight and never gain a pound (hate them ) ????? Janice
