Our previous rabbit died just a little short of 12 years of age. She enjoyed guavas. We have two big guava trees in our front yard. She got guava treats for over 10 years. We also gave her banana treats, along with apple, and bing cherries. For about 10 years, she got a 1 inch piece of banana every morning. She'd get narky if she didn't get her banana. In her older age she developed spinal stenosis and needed an anelgesic. It was easy to give her medicine. We made a small conical incision in her banana slice, added her 1.5 cc of metacam into the cut out part of the bananna, and she would lick her medicine and eat the banana...no fussing with trying to syringe the medicine into her mouth.
We now have two Flemish babies. Babies! They are 11 weeks old and are the size of most adult rabbits. We give them guava slices, banana slices, and apple slices. These are just treats. They eat mostly oat hay, timothy hay, pellets, romaine lettuce, and other green leafy vegetables. Eat is the definitive word. They eat like little pigs. They'll be going up to about 20 pounds. Mom and Dad were above 20 pounds.
