Hay chew sticks for junior rabbits

CocoLoco

Young Bun
Hi all,
I just wanted to ask what kind of treats/chew toys I’m allowed to give my 9 week old bunnies. I currently have this hay chew sticks but I’m not sure if I’m actually allowed to be given this at 9 weeks old. We visited the vet yesterday and i wanted to give them treats to relieve some stress after the vet appointment bur was not sure what to give them or if i’m even allowed to give treats to them at this age.

I would just stick to standard hay. Adding different things to their diet at this age when they have been under stress may cause issues, so keep it simple. They don't need 'treats'. Look at ways you can provide additional enrichment eg stuffing hay in cardboard tubes, providing tunnels or boxes to jump in / on (assuming they don't try to eat the card).
 
I would not give treats to a young bunny and rarely used them in older bunnies. If your bunny gets pelleted rabbit food, use that as a treat now and when your bunny is older a favorite veggie green or herb can be a good treat.
