cabbage

[mygrl2k3]

Sorry I haven't been around much.Roger is doing well. Does his crazy bunnny dance for carrotsin the morning. EVerytime he see's my boyfriend Tad he thinkshe is getting fed. He gives him treats andsometimes too many. The newest treat is cabbage because ofSt. Patricks day, which happens to be his bday too.

I didn't see cabbage on the safe foods, so out of fear of ill effects Ihad to steal food from a bunny. So am I right in saying nocabbage, and if so why is it bad for them? Thanks ahead oftime.

I think cabbage causes gas.

A lot of people say cabbage is too gassy, but in my experience it isn't.

I sometimes give it to my girls, it has never caused a problem. They love it!

Obviously I don't give them a lot, probably too much would cause gas. So my advice? Give it in small quantities

Some rabbits cannot handle cabbage, but somehave no problems. It all depends on the rabbit, but since some don'thandle it well, I don't feed my girls it.

It can also give them diahrearra(sp). (I can never spell that word-guess I should practice it.)

Thanks everyone for the advice. I willlet him know only in very small amounts, and will moniter forproblems. Sometimes I have to be the mean onebecause he really trys to be too nice in feeding treats.
