Oats OK?

[Dutchbrothers]

Can bunnies have oats? How much per bunny and rolled or whole oats?
They love their alfalfa pellets but I want to give them more of a variety of staple food.

I know some breeders mix rolled oats in with their pellets. I just use oatmeal (the old-fashioned kind).

I put one tablespoon of old-fashioned oats in my bonded pair's pellet bowl every night....they love to forage through the pellets to eat the oats .

I feed my guy old fashioned oats and boy does he go nuts for them.

We feed cookie steel cut oats every evening. We sprinkle it in his hay and he goes foraging for it, he loves them! All I have to do is shake the tin they are in and no matter where he is in the house he comes running! Lol silly bunny

hahaha Harvey comes running too. He's actually figured out how to open the container. Sticks his whole head in there too.

Q-tip has learned the word "oatmeal". All I have to do is go "Tippy, OATMEAL!" and she comes running. I give her steel cut oats as a treat, although I've gotten rolled oats before. I just get whatever's in bulk at Natural Grocers, although I've found she prefers the shape of the steel cut.

All our bunnies have a constant supply of home brand rolled oats along with their pellets and hay. They LOVE them!

I started giving oats to Acacia in her pellets because she's 5 now and I don't want to see a sudden drop in weight at any point now. I know she's technically not "senior" yet but she loves them
