Picture crazy or wat?

Fifibutton · Apr 25, 2008

Wow so many golden ears. What is that round food you have given them, is it bread?

sdf76 · Apr 25, 2008

I was guna ask that - it looks like jacket potatoes? -Sue

Have they all come together for food? What other space do they have?

Sadly not the best advert for BRC breeders I've seen :?

Wish you'd think more before you posted.

Wow, that's a lot of hares!

Ooooh look lots of bread rolls..... I wonder how many people will browse the website this weekend, and leave thinking bread rolls are a good staple diet for rabbits.

MaxiandScottandbuns · Apr 25, 2008

Doesnt the yeast in bread promote growth of bad bacteria or something? And E numbers and whatever if they have any, plus all those refined carbs...Im not sure though, not an expert, ive heard of people giving bread before

Can i ask what you do with the hares? I wouldnt have thought hares make great pets due to the SPACE they need to run...

Sorry but to me hares are wild animals and should be left as such...

Nothing nicer than seeing a hare in our field running like a loopy and off under the fence on its way across the countryside...

They are beautiful, but so many together, did you do that for the purpose of the photo?

I pretty sure they could not live like that for any length of time.

I have a hare, he loves to spend his days outstretched in hi dog basket. They are just so beautiful

I believe they are Belgian Hares which is actually a breed of rabbit, not a real "wild" hare x x

You can't really account for everyone not doing research. If they looked at recent photos they could make the assumption cardboard boxes made good housing too!

I feed bread, leave it to go nice and hard and they have great fun gnawing at it. Obviously it shouldn't be a staple diet, nor should cabbage or carrots or pellets. If your buns are used to it and you know they do fine then it doesn't do any harm.

They are beautiful

I give my buns bread.They love a hard old French stick to throw around !

Deelove · Apr 25, 2008

Beautiful buns. Such a pretty colour.

I don't think the bread will make newbies think that's what they should feed their buns. As a treat it's not something that is toxic or harmful and I can only see 3 little rolls between 6 buns that I can count.

I've often seen it recommended as a treat.

catswhiskas · Apr 25, 2008

I have to confess Princess goes mad for a bit of toast as a treat... truly crazy.

Doncat5 · Apr 25, 2008

On of my rabbits got bloat and died after my mother fed him bread while I was on holiday.... and by the looks of this, he wasnt the only one.

Why is there so much conflicting advice with rabbits???

I'm very sorry about your rabbit.

It seems anything can cause upset to a rabbits tum if they're not used to it and everything I've read says that it needs to be dried bread. I'm afraid I don't really rate that page. It states what we all know, that hay is very important. Obviously their rabbit got ill if it was living on only pellets and the page also states they feed their rabbit chocolate and lists carrot as one of the primary rabbit foods. :?

They are so, so beautiful. ^^
There's something about hares.. they always look so sleek & shiny! :lol:

... and I've fed bred to all of mine before, past & present. It's the one food Barney adores.

We bake the end of a loaf and cut it into quarters, so it's very hard. It gives them something to play with and wear their teeth down on, and they have never seemed to suffer for it...? They're given it as a treat here? ^^'
