sure, deer also like them, too.
No, rabbits shouldn't have salt licks. The purpose of salt licks is to ensure an appropriate balance of minerals in an animal's diet, but pet rabbits get all the minerals they need from their pellets. Make sure you feed your rabbit the right amounts of good, high-quality rabbit pellets, as well as lots and lots of grass hay (not alfalfa, unless the rabbit is a juvenile), and fresh leafy greens - they don't need salt licks.

∙ 12y agoSeeds and nuts are not good for rabbits, including sunflower kernels. Rabbits enjoy some kinds of seeds and nuts, but they are high in fats that aren't good for them; and some kinds are toxic for rabbits!
It is only reasonable to think that anything salted would be bad for your rabbit. As a general rule, stick to natural foods with nothing added, and foods that are sold and made specifically for rabbits -- do not give them your own tasty "human" treats.
Rabbits should eat a diet of mostly hay, with some high-quality pellets and fresh dark leafy greens daily. "Treats" should be offered sparingly. A bad diet is very unhealthy for rabbits and leads to all kinds of different illnesses.

∙ 12y agoRabbits don't need a salt lick because they get all the minerals they need from their pellets. A salt lick probably won't hurt your rabbit, but it's completely unnecessary so long as you're feeding your bunny appropriate portions of high-quality rabbit pellets. See the related question below for more info about a healthy rabbit diet.

Rabbits get all the minerals and vitamins they need from their (high-quality) pellets. (That's what salt blocks are: minerals - only a bit of salt.) Most rabbits would ignore a salt block. See the related questions below for more info and helpful links.

∙ 13y agoNo, actually you can buy specially made salt licks for your pet rabbit. They need sodium in their body, but not too much!

Hamsters need salt for the same reason we do, without it our nervous system could not function. It is not mandatory to have a salt lick or salt wheel for your hamster but it would be a good idea. Hamsters live in the wild where they get their minerals from plants and stuff. Hamsters can't always get minerals and the salt they need in their cage that's why its a good idea to get a salt lick or something for your hamster.

Why do bunnies need salt licks?
Salt is an important mineral: all animals need it to survive. Theoretically, if a rabbit or any animal isn't getting enough salt in its diet, it will be attracted to salt and will want to lick it up. That said, I've never heard of a rabbit liking salt. Maybe you are asking about a salt lick? Salt licks don't actually have much salt in them: they're really a mix of different minerals. Again: if a rabbit isn't getting enough of the right minerals in its diet, it will be attracted to a salt lick. A rabbit eating a proper diet of lots of hay, water, and some high-quality pellets and fresh dark leafy greens, then it won't be attracted to salt. Extra salt isn't good for rabbits. If, for some reason, your rabbit likes salt, don't let her eat it. Just feed her a healthy balanced diet. But if your rabbit has an odd attraction to salt, bring her to the vet for a check-up: any unusual behaviour should lead to a check-up because it could be a sign of illness. See the related questions below for details.
