Can you feed rabbits parsnip?

i have load of parsnip skins with Guinness name all over them, just wanted to check that it was ok before giving them to him! :D
 
a little. It's quite high in sugar so not an everyday thing. Mine don't touch it wich is wied because I always thought parsnip tasted a little like parsley which I think it might be related too & they love parsley.
 
Alvin refuses parsnip... the only thing yet that will sit in his bowl till i throw it away....:roll: :roll:
 
The majority of ours turn their noses up at it. Snobs :roll:

If your bunny does like it treat it like carrot, a rare treat ;)

Oh is carrot very sugary too then? Oh dear maybe thats why he is a bit chunky! i'll stick to the greens for now i think!

Yes its packed with sugar. I only feed mine carrot tops and peel twice a week now and if they are on a diet its out of bounds.
 
My girls won't touch parsnip either- the only other thing they don't like that I've tried is courgette. They usually have a breakfast of 3 large carrots, 1 apple and 1 banana every day- to share between the 3 of them. They have a pellet meal in the evening. Unlimited hay and grass all day. They have a large enclosed garden to run about in all day so they are pretty active- haven't got weight problems with any yet.

Can I just say, their breakfast is really high in sugar? :oops: Might be better substituting some of it for a couple of leaves of spring greens or something :D X
