Apple (remove stem and seeds) Blueberries Melon Orange (including peel) Papaya Peach Pear Pineapple Plums Raspberries Strawberries
Sugary fruits such as bananas and grapes should be used only sparingly, as occasional treats. Bunnies have a sweet tooth and if left to their own devices will devour sugary foods to the exclusion of healthful ones.

The image doesn't work and also could you change the color to what you wrote on the 19th? The yellow is hard to read.

GI STASIS IN RABBITS:
Thanks to Andrea for this info. . .
>> Correct. It's when the rabbits stomach gets upset, from say a hairball or moldy food. It stops eating and nothing moves through the intestines causing them to start producing chemicals which eventually poison the rabbit. A lot of people thought they starve to death, but it's much more painful then that, the organs actually start shutting down. Even just a gassy belly can start this, so it is important to watch your rabbits food and water consumption daily, and be aware of any changes. Rabbits with GI Stasis or gas will stop eating, and sit hunched up, with become lethargic and their body temperatures will drop. Once the body Temp. has dropped they MUST see a Vet for antibiotics and gut mobility drugs. If it's just gas, and the starting of an upset stomach you can give Ovol the gas medicine for babies, but you give rabbits a double does then you would a child. Papaya enzyme tables are great at keeping the gut moving, my guys all get one tablet every night as a preventative, they are get canned pumpkin during molting seasons, the high fiber helps push through any ingested hair. Some rabbits are more prone to this then others, lots of hay and fresh veggies with regular brushing will definitely cut down any chances of this problem. <<

Very interesting, thank you. Tomorrow I will tell Boo not to do that, stop what I'm doing (which I do anyway), and talk to him in a calm voice. So they don't like us in their territory, that's understandable. I wonder if Boo will ever stop it. I know they said bunnies are social creatures, but we don't have room in his hutch for another rabbit. And besides, he's near Cookie and Thumper when he's outside. He's an older rabbit, I wonder if that's a factor too. Interesting read, thank you.
