Never had tryed alot of these snacks before, I liked to stick with the fresh or dried fruits and Veggies but my daughter really wanted to try some of these things for the hamsters. We tryed to get everything organized and then went to see what the rabbits would actually want and they were compleatly uninterested but they still have the fruits and veggies and thats fine by me!

I guess it's good that your rabbits weren't interested. Almost all store-bought "treats" that are sold for rabbits and even advertised as "healthy" for rabbits are actually not good for them. Yogurt drops are one common treat that is not healthy for a rabbit. Many of the other nuts and seeds mixes aren't good either.
I think they may be fine for hamsters, though.

I want you to come organize my house!! The papaya treats would be good for them...especially during a molt.

The hamster loves everything he got, Marci and Stan still stick to the dried fruits =] Thanks i love to organize haha keeps a clear mind..

I would not feed a rabbit the pellets that have all of those goodies in it (seeds, colorful bits etc...). A rabbit feed should just be a uniforme plain pellet. I LOVE thirtyone as well. I only have 1 thing from it though.

We are still using what marci ate from the pet store, Stan does not eat but maybe a tablespoon of pellets every other day. We are looking around at the pellets, We like the oxbow timothy pellets and might get those to start mixing into what she already was on.

I though it may be to much for her to get a new home and new food all in one week. But that might be wrong, i think stan being here has helped her settle in alot quicker.

i actually get really great deals on spinach and they both eat one cup of that everyday along with unlimited hay.

eventually id like to get marci on the same pellet feeding as stan.

It does seem to help a new bun feel more comfortable in a new home, when there is another bun around. It also helps minimize the chance of them going off feed or getting stress induced digestive upset.

You're right to not switch her right off, to a new food. If she is sensitve to food changes, it could have made her sick. When you do switch her over to a new food, do you know about transitioning onto new foods? But definitely stick with a plain pellet.

You may want to cut back a bit on the spinach. It's high in oxalic acid, which can cause urinary problems with rabbits. Here are a few links to sites that have good info on veggies for rabbits and also a rabbit's diet, that you may want to check out.
