[Clairabow]

I decided to get a new veggie for my rabbits today and have bought radish's but have now been told they shouldnt eat it is this right??? If they cant eat the radish can they eat the green bits??

[Maizey]

They can eat the green tops but not the actual radish

[Clairabow]

[Maizey]

Dont give them too much If they are not used to them you dont want to upset their tummies.

Mine eat radishes with no problems

My rabbits eat the whole radish too.

Wasn't it radishes that Peter Rabbit was stealing in one of the Beatrix Potter stories?

[foxyfaerie]

I think you're right!

[Maizey]

I'm sorry If I'm wrong I got told a while ago not to feed them the actual radish

According to Rabbit Welfare it's just the tops:

Remember, just cos bunnies are shown eating something on TV or in a book doesn't mean it's good for them. Bug Bunny eats carrots all the time but as we know they're sugary and should be given in moderation.

Very true, but just because one website said it's bad doesn't mean they all will. I must have seen it on a safe list before I gave it to mine, but they've all been fine; and they love it too.
