Carrots for Bunnies
Most people think that carrots are appropriate for bunnies. This is actually not true. Carrots are very high in sugar and should only be given to rabbits as a treat no more than once per week. They can be bad for bunnies if eaten too often. Carrots can cause tooth decay. Bunnies prefer hay and fresh grass over carrots. Sometimes it is good to feed them fresh greens like cabbage and broccoli. Resist the urge to feed your pet bunny carrots and feed it the right types of foods.
