Can rabbits eat oat and tea leaves?

Best Answer

Oat hay (dried oat grass/leaves) is good for rabbits, although it's somewhat high in carbs so many people feed it as a "treat" hay only. Good "staple" hays include timothy, meadow grass, orchard grass, and brome.

Fresh oat leaves and other fresh grasses should be limited as a treat becuase too much can spoil a rabbit's appetite for other foods: fresh grasses don't have as much nutritional value as leafy greens (like dark leafy lettuces, herbs, and weeds), and they don't have as much fibre content as dried grass (hay).

Oats, the grain, should be extra-limited. Some people feed their rabbits rolled oats as a treat, but these aren't healthy. Oat groats -- the whole grain including bran -- are healthier than rolled oats or other processed oat products, so they're okay as a limited treat. 1 or 2 groats every few days should be fine for a healthy, normal rabbit.

Tea leaves, fresh or dried, should not be fed to rabbits at all. Do not feed your rabbit anything with caffeine in it (even natural caffeine, like the kind found in tea). Do not feed your rabbit herbal teas, either, because the dried herbs are more potent than fresh herbs and could upset the rabbit's system.
