This can't be healthy for the buns surely :(
 
All that Sugar, Fat and Calcium can't be good :?

That's what I thought I think I will copy out the ingredients and show her and explain that it's not ideal for rabbits delicate tummies, it's also got little seeds on it from what she said.

Oh dear :roll:

Thank You Gray :)
 
Probably Linseed;

Not sure on its suitability for bunnies :? Any bread, as far as im aware is a no go, unless situation negates the rules.
 
I've used it in the past to give meds on but would never ever give it in any other circumstance.
