Can rabbit's have chaff :?
I was filling a bucket with it on saturday for the horse and it looke dlike normal hay (with added alfalfa) I'm sure there is a type of chaff with chopped straw (well i think) and I wouldn't use that one obviously

I wouldn't feed buns any kind of chaff. I "think" alfalfa is quite high in calcium so not good for bunnys.

You need to check the ingredients in the chaff tho, generally need to avoid chaff with alfalfa in,

I would also avoid mollassed chaff like Honeychop or Mollichaff as mollasses is very sugary.
Grass chaffs are fine tho like Readigrass or Just Grass.
