Wrong food???

[shelby_jonesss]

I recently went away on vacation for a week and my dad took care of my bunny Cheerio. I know I left enough food and hay for him- but my father insisted on buying him more supplies. I came home to an extra bag of food, but when I looked at the bag it said it was chinchilla food. My rabbit didn't eat it yet, but I was wondering if I could just feed it to him this one time? I don't want to put it to waste! But if it's bad for him of course I won't give it to him

Any chance your dad has the receipt, or you could take it back unopened to where he got it. The top listed ingredients don't sound bad, but I can't see the protein or fiber %.

I don't recommend it I think it's too high in grains for rabbits. Try to return it.

I would return it if you could, or even donate it to a rescue that might have use for it.

Alright, thank you everyone! 💕

If it was a one meal sort of emergency, I'd say it was okay, but I wouldn't feed him the whole bag. If it's unopened you can probably return it. If not, some rescues or shelters accept open bags of food.
