Hi.
As most of you know George is a house rabbit. . Earlier on ava came into the kitchen and said. . I just give George a nik Nak. . So i ran into the room and there he was nibbling on a nice and spicey nik nak. . I can't believe this because she knows the score. Will he be ok? X
 
I also think that George will get way with it, but only because it's a small quantity.

You are NOT being silly at all. You are completely right.

Please relay this to Ava.

I checked the ingredients of Nic Naks.
Buns digestive systems can't handle the high oil content or the lactose content. Onion is poisonous to them. Bunnies can't vomit to get rid of anything bad for them.

Things like glucose, & the high corn content can really muck up the delicate balance of bacteria needed for them to get any nourishment from their normal food.

Bunnies have a unique, complex, & fragile digestive system. Anything other than bunny food can have very serious consequences.

You are just so right on this one ZoeLou. :thumb:
 
I think its important that you take more precautions to keep George safe because Ava seems to struggle with knowing what she can and can't do with rabbits.
 
I know she is young, and that's why she is struggling. Its totally understandable, but that makes it down to you to protect your pets, that's all I meant. Like an extra barrier around him or something, so that she can't easily get to him.
 
Hello :)

Obviously you have a right to be scared as this isn't what rabbits should usually eat so definitely keep an eye on him and his poos. But I hope this can be reassuring to you. My bun Charlie has a delicate tummy, but one day I caught him nibbling on a prawn cracker. We must have dropped a small piece under the sofa when we had chinese one night :(. I panicked a lot and was in fits that I'd been so silly. But weirdly, Charlie was fine! And this is the bunny that has VERY sticky/runny poos from Excel pellets!!

Also,

This bunny ate doritos and Pez!!!

Like I said, keep an eye on your bunny just to make sure, but I hope these stories are reassuring :) xxx
 
My old bunny had the habbit of nicking stuff of plates and eating them, pizza being his personal fav, he was ok, with it being only a small amount he should be fine x

This would be a good idea, then the bun could have his space when he needs too :) i know with my two they hate my little cousin coming round they run and hide which is ok as they can get away :)
 
May I apologise for not realising that Ava was a child in the tone of my post.
For some reason at that time of night, I thought she was a young adult.
I'm pleased that George is fine.

People have different opinions on here. I hope you realise that we are trying to care for both you & your bun.
