A Diet Question

[rinirabbit]

Can Rabbits eat cheese? I am kind of curious, and also, is a little bit of white bread ok for a snack? I was just remembering my mice I used to have who loved a snack of cheese and bread

i wouldn't feed cheese. . .at all. . . i don't really have a reasoning other then i have never heard anyone feed cheese to their rabbits.

as far as white bread, my rabbits get TINY tastes of a fresh 9-grain bread when they are out running around. . .but i mean like a bite once a week if that. . .

Dairy products aren't good for rabbits because they have trouble digesting them. You can feed bread, but whole-grain is much better than white. That way it at least has some fiber in it. Some people feed stale hard bread pieces so that the rabbits have to work to chew on it.
