Just found Teddy eating some cooking apple...

Just gone into kitchen and found Ted eating some Bramley apple, not loads, if it was 3 dimensional, I'd say a piece about a square cm or maybe a bit more. So stupid of me to leave the bag on the floor :cry: He's tucking into some hay now, but if humans ate raw cooking apple they'd most likely get a bad tummy ache. Is this the same for rabbits? Is my thoughtlessness going to make him ill? :cry::cry::cry: Obviously we'll keep an eye on him but do we need to be particularly concerned? (they're organic from my mum's tree so no pesticide or anything).

Thanks for any help.
 
I think you'll find he'll be absolutely fine. Cooking apples don't give you a tummy ache but they're pretty sharp which is why they're used for cooking rather than as an eating apple. Mine eat unripe windfalls and they're fine.
 
I eat raw cooking apples, they just taste more bitter I guess it is? They don't make you ill, Teddy will be fine!
 
I agree with Mackers and Steph!
Also it was a very small amount that he ate, so I'd just keep an eye on him.

Thanks everybody, he's still tucking into his hay, I just thought if he got tummy ache he might not eat then we'd be into the cycle of stasis and we go away on Saturday so that really would be a nightmare. We'll keep a close eye on him though!
 
:wave: I'm sure he will be fine. If you're worried about him you could maybe just give him hay only till tomorrow but I'm sure he won't suffer any ill effects.
 
Just a quick update on this to say that Ted's fine, there were no ill effects from the apples. Thanks for all your reassuring words :D.
