i have read lots of comments on here, but im a bit confused!!!

i read how the salt licks are bad for bunnys!!!

i also read that the corn on the cob, bought from pet shops,the hard yellow corns, are also bad for them!!

i have both of the above, my bunny has gone through loads of the corn on the cobs and is always licking the salt licks!!!

should i take them all away from her???

has there already been much damage to her from having these??

am i a bad mummy??????:cry:
 
i wouldn't say your a bad mummy but these pet shops just package and label everything so nicely that it's had not to know whats right. with a balanced diet your bun shouldn't need the lick the corn i'm not too sure about but theres no nutriention in it so i wouldn't bother giving her it, plus it could make her windy.
 
I think the corn on the cob can make a bun fat if they have too many, but I feed mine the occasional treat of them too.

I've used mineral stones before now, although they don't seem bothered about those.

Long as your bunny's diet is 85-90% hay, & 10-15% veg & pellets, you should have a relatively healthy bun
