Nuts

Towsbuns

Mama Doe
I collected my new bun on Saturday and asked for some of his current food so I could gradually swap him over to Science Selective that mine have. His current food looks like a very fancy mix with dried fruit etc. but it has nuts in - I don't recall ever seeing a bunny mix with nuts in nor have I heard them mentioned on here as suitable for buns.
Does anyone know whether he should be having nuts?
 
I thought that they contained a lot of fat, so dont give them to Mikey. Perhaps someone with more knowledge might be able to tell you
 
Sounds like hamster food :shock: !!!! I think rabbits can eat nuts but they are really fatty (Correct me if i'm wrong) :shock: So i dont give any of mine nuts
 
It is not hamster food as there are no sunflower seeds in it although the thought did cross my mind - there is the usual squashed peas and corn, some seeds, dried fruit and some other peculiar bits that look like mini rice cakes plus peanuts - I have never seen mix like this before. I think I will try and get him off this stuff sooner rather than later.
 
Mine have the odd peanut (not the salted variety) now and again as a treat and they go crazy for them.......I was putting some out for the birds yesterday and roo could obviously smell them on my hands when I went to pick him up as he was rooting around looking for them and licking my hand.

I think the odd peanut now and again is no harm but probarbly not good to be part of their daily diet in their mix, as I think they would be fattening.

Maybe you could try and pick out some of the nuts in the food if there are a lot of them until you transfer your bunny onto the science selective.

Hope this helps
 
They can have the odd nut but they are not good for them, i have a pair of rabbits that come to me for boarding and they get a walnut and a raison every day lol. val
