Rabbits got into the hamster food

*Funny*Bunny*

Warren Veteran
The little :censored: !!!

It's in one of those boxes where the lid is clipped down and they escaped over night and opened it :evil:

I don't know how much they had, I doubt it was very much but now I'll be on funny tummy watch :roll:

Harvey was face down in the box, saw me coming and didn't even move, he knew if he waited until I picked him up he might get that extra mouthful! No struggling when I picked him up, he just sat on my lap contentedly finishing his mouthful! Such a cheeky rabbit!

Anything particularly dangerous for rabbits in Harry Hamster? I'm assuming peanuts are not brilliant!
 
I shouldn't think it will do too much harm but keep an eye on them for a day or two.

They're very proud of themselves :evil:

I've blocked off the area until I can work out where to move the food and now my feet and the cushions I've used to block it off are getting the brunt of bunny anger and determination! They have been binkying though so they must be finding it all amusing :roll:
 
They're so clever, I've now moved the food box and just let them free range all day, they haven't attempted attacking the sofa yet, and that's the main reason they have the pen up when I'm out! They're less interested in doing naughty things when they have access to the naughty places all the time :roll: the second I section off an area of the room it becomes fascinating!!!

They're happy with no tummy problems phew! They're sleeping under the dining table now, probably annoyed at me for moving the food!
 
My mams boyfriend fed mine a bowl of hamster food not long ago when I asked him to top up their hay while I was out :roll: They didn't eat much.

There's nothing that should be too dangerous but if you have a rabbit with a sensitive tum then it could upset them. Mine were totally fine. I feed less pellets the night they got in to it (I wasn't going to feed any at all but had to be out the house at 7am the next day and they wouldn't have let me sleep if I didn't give them any!) and put loads of extra hay in for them.

I think he gave them hamster food, didn't he.

I'm assuming he gave them hamster food not rabbit food like Babsie said :p

Harvey usually has a sensitive tummy but he seems to have not reacted to the hamster food phew :D They'll be getting lots of hay, I still gave them breakfast as they'd pester me otherwise! It was small though!
