8in1 Yogies for Rabbit

"They are her absolute favorite and being that they are good for her, they are also a favorite of mine." Sugar, vegetable oil, whey, more sugar, yogurt powder, and colouring? I don't see even ONE ingredient on that list that is even OK for rabbits to eat, let alone 'good' for them. Feed them in tiny tiny quantities as treats if you really want and your rabbit is otherwise very healthy, gets enough exercise, and eats LOTS of timothy hay and a reasonable amount of fresh greens with a good appetite, but please don't make the mistake of thinking they are anything but CANDY, and one of the least healthy kinds of candy you can find at that. Use extreme moderation, or better yet, throw them out and give her a small sliver of banana or other fruit (less than a teaspoon) or a raisin once a day as a treat. Most rabbits adore banana and even though it's far too sweet and high calorie to be anything but a dessert food for them, it's substantially better than this product or anything with this kind of ingredient list. Slivers of apple or pears or other very high fibre fruit are even better rabbit dessert foods. Honestly, their entire system was made to process GRASS and TWIGS. Their digestive tract really won't know what to do with sugar and oil and dairy products. Maybe they 'love it', but then a lot of rabbits also love to chew electrical wires -they're not always the best judges of what's good for them.
