Mineral blocks

[stitch&flopsy]

Hey this is going to be a short little question. That question is can baby bunnies (as in 5 months old) have mineral blocks? Just a quick question so thanks

They CAN have it, but they really don't need it if you are feeding them a balanced diet with a good brand of pellets. Mineral blocks, like those seed-and-fruit "rabbit and guinea pig treat blocks", are just one of those pet store gimmicks that your bunny is usually better off without.

Agreed. Salt and mineral licks aren't necessary for rabbits that are being fed a good quality pellet.

Felix ignored the banana mineral stone I bought him when he was young, but Clementine actually liked it quite a lot. It was unnecessary, nutritionally, but she had a good time licking and chewing at it. I had to remove it recently, since she's been having some digestion worries, and I wanted to put her back to the basics before reintroducing new foods.
