Hi Varna!

Hmmmmmm......not sure.

Baby food vegtables are cooked veggies so I imagine that it would be okay.
Probably not as healthy as raw, though.

You could give Lucy a little bit and then see if she okay for a day.Try and give her something that she's had before...like the carrotsmaybe.

Hey Varna!

I dont think there is any problem with bunnies eating cooked veggies aslong as they werent cooked in butter etc. Carrots should be fine, but Iwould stay away from Broccoli and Cauliflower (they can cause gas).

Heres a list of the HRS suggested veggies:http://www.rabbit.org/care/veggies.html

I have that list printed out and stuck to my fridge, it helps a lot!

I agree with Jim and Haley.

Won't do harm, but won't give the same goodness, just like humans, rawvegetables are much healthier (and tastier IMO) than cookedones.:carrot:carrot

I'm gonna move this to the main forum for you, as it's more a topic for the Rabbits Only section of the forum.

:?i have no idea...................... i would like to know too.

The breeder where I bought my bunnies told me no cooked veggies. I didn't bother to ask why.

As a treat, cooked veggies might beokay. For example, the canned pumpkin my rabbits love hasbeen cooked. But cooked veggies do tend to loose some oftheir nutrients. Plus they won't wear down the teeth at allbecause they're so soft. So only feed a small amount.

i dont really think you should. Maybe if you dowatch him/her for about 48 hours so you can make sure nothinghappens. I know a rabbit that eats cookies and nothings wrong with him!Good Luck.

For the record, I would really not recommend thecookies or candy...too much sugar can be VERY damaging to a rabbit'shealth, if not ultimately fatal (as in, give the bun diarrhea, andpossibly in having diarrhea, perish).

It's just not worth it in my book...

No offence, RobertsRabbitry...
