Chocolate, a lot of it about (approx 30 bars between 4).

Wise Old Thumper
Ok I know I've been stupid but I put the left over chocolate for the trick and treaters on the stairs to take up and put away for the carol singers on Wednesday night. Basically I forgot, I had a reporter round Wednesday and he didn't go to 11.30 and I just went to bed and didn't take the stuff up I'd suppose to.

Bryn rang me yesterday while I was driving home from work to say most of it had been eaten. Mostly fun sized bounties (they seem to really like them) and the vegan chocolate. I rang the vets and they said there wasn't a lot they could do, they gave me an emergency number and I've got to keep and eye on them for the next few days and feed them a purely hay diet. Do I need to be doing anything else?
 
:lol: :lol: :lol: Oh god Tree bet Beatrix at emost of it from when you used to feed her chocolate when she was a baby! :lol: :lol:
 
Ooo-err!! :shock: I'd say as much hay as they can eat plus make sure their fluid intake is adequate. Naughty bunsters!! Mind you I'm with them on the Bounty Bars....SCRUMMY!! :lol: :lol: Prob good idea to keep a close eye on the size/quantity of their poops :oops: . If they become v small and dry or are significantly less than normal I'd get the vet to check the bunsters over.Perhaps some probiotics in their water too.... :? Jane and Buns xx

What about the monster munch? I've not fed Bea Chocolate. I fed her a spud once, but that's because I didn't realise they were bad for her.

It's mad isn't it, I think house bunnies get stern tummies because mine are iinto everything.
 
I really hope she is OK, unfortunately I've heard of buns not living after eating alot of chocolate.But that was pure chocies lets hope that coz these had other things in them not just straight chocolate that it will be different.

Our outside bunnies have a similiar tough stomache. One of the girls Smudge eats everything she can chew. I paniced like mad at first when she ate the tar roofing from her outside bunny box :shock: and the latex flooring plus the glue (I'll never ever know how she got that stuff up) from her old shed :shock:. Both these incidents were over a year ago now and she seemed fine (I really couldn't believe it). In fact she now seems to try and eat any laminate flooring she can. I have to make sure it is all firmly glued and nailed these days.

She now seems to target my trainers as her next source of sustinance!
 
nreal_hill, Bea has eaten my kitchen floor too, little madam :lol: I can't see wht's so appealing about it myself :D
 
Frankly I'm amazed (very pleasantly I hasten to add) that they don't poison themselves eating stuff like that? Just proves I guess that they're tougher than we give them credit for!!
