No, these are not good!
Not only do they often contain sugar but often they contain egg and milk too.
I would stick to natural treats like dried leaves, herbs, small amounts of fruit, treat hays etc.
Manufactered treats like those can cause stasis in sensative buns. :wave:
Good for mice, rats and hamsters though!
I know it seems boring but mine get just as much enjoyment out of the Alfalfa King Timothy hay that some P@H stock. And hay is the absolute best thing for teethies. Can get it on The Hay Experts as well.
Buckley loves that hay He only gets it when I'm feeling fancy though as it's so darn expensive.
Might get him some of that and some chamomile feat woodlands hay as a christmas pressie :lol:
Without exception ALL of the foster buns I've had here go as bonkers for an SS pellet as anything else! There's no reason why pellets can't be used as 'treats', I often put them in the treat ball instead of the bowl! I also buy fenugreek crunchies (no bun slave should ever be without them ) & dried carrot & parsnip peelings are a good 'free' treat too
In the summer of course there's soooo much more you can give but I think top of the list has to be rose petals, pink or red being the preferred option :lol:
As do i Fluffers - a SS pellet is my 'eating test' in the morning and before bed time.
:lol: oh dear!
mine usually get fancy hays daily, mixed in with plain, but we're on short rations at the moment so until i get to a supplier (probably p@h, sorry) mine are on meadow hay from asda. they're quite fond of it. the alfalfa king timothy is a regular for us, too. them, i mean. i don't eat it.
well, they tried the dreaded popcorn sticks. munched them all up overnight. not a shred left. all four bunnehs are looking ok this morning. i will continue to buy 'treats' for emergencies but i can't remember the last time i gave some speculatively... they have their single crunchie each in the morning when i'm leaving for work and evening when i'm going to bed (as in fenugreek if i can get them, or the nasty little balls that come in the p@h packets with them) because it's the only food they know to take from my hand.
well, fayelou, we have been told.

We do an eat test morning and night too. We have used vitakraft nibble rings for years and years for this. They have literally been life savers. And we can even pick up on dental problems really early just from the way a bunny is able to eat their nibble ring The only buns that don;t get them are those on a low calcium diet as they are alfalfa based.
