walnuts

[renaelock]

I heard a walnut a day helps a bunny's belly and coat. What part do I give, the whole thing shell and all or just the nut?

If it's not on a safe list, I just wouldn't bother with it, honestly. It's not on the list from the Library that I hold to be great.

Here it is:

Walnuts would be the same as giving flaxseed which plenty do and is often included in organic pellets. The meat is the only useful part of a walnut. I do sometimes give shelled nuts to entertain entertain everything from hamsters to our shiba dog to horses. It's a healthier treat for a horse than a carrot. Depending on the animal and the nut (like rock hard brazil nuts) it can take them hours to work the shell off. I don't know of any critter that a small to moderate amount of nut (or flaxseed) is harmful to. Only the caution that they are fattening.
