Can rabbits eat hard carrots

Answer 1

No, rabbits need a complete diet of mostly hay, fresh water, and some fresh greens and high-quality rabbit pellets.

Carrot is a treat food for rabbits because it is a very sugary vegetable, so it should be fed in moderation (one or two bites every couple of days at most).

Answer 2

Rabbits should not eat canned carrots or any canned fruits or vegetables.

Theoretically, in an apocalyptic or disaster situation, canned carrots are better than nothing at all; however, fresh foods are much healthier for rabbits. Rabbits already eat enough processed food with their pellets, so when it comes to fruits and vegetables, fresh is what rabbits should be eating.

Sometimes, if a rabbit is ill and force-feeding is required, and if there are no professional force-foods available for some reason (like Critical Care), 100% pure baby carrot food (this is NOT the same as canned carrot) can be mixed in with crushed pellets to make a temporary (interim) force-food -- this should not be attempted without the direction of a "rabbit-savvy" vet.

Answer 3

The short answer is yes they can. The longer answer is start slowly. Just one or two a day and increase slowly. To much and they will get diarrhea and that can kill a rabbit really fast.

Dietary changes for a rabbit should always be done slowly. Quick changes of any kind can result serious digestive illness.

Once the rabbits are used to carrot greens, they can have them quite often. Carrot greens are an excellent plant to put in regular rotation for the rabbit's daily "salad."

Answer 4

Rabbits that are caged, in fact all pet rabbits, should be given treats sparingly. Carrots are among the best treats you can give your rabbit. Carrots are a sugary vegetable. They can be given everyday in a very small amount. One source says: Two baby carrots a day for 6 class rabbits is enough. Another source says: Two tablespoons per day for a normal, healthy 6 pound rabbit is enough. Carrot greens are very healthy for rabbits, though, and can be included in the rotation of "salad" greens. Too many treats can make a rabbit sick. See the related questions below for more info and helpful links.

Answer 5

All fresh carrots are hard, unless they've gone bad. Fresh, hard carrots are the only kind of carrots rabbits can eat. You shouldn't give your bunny spoiled food, or cooked food. Carrots are high in sugar and starch, though, so they're only good as a treat. Too many carrots (or any non-leafy veg or fruit) will make your rabbit sick. A bite or two of carrot is fine. Rabbits should mostly eat hay, with some pellets, some fresh leafy greens, and water. See the related question below for details and links.

Answer 6

Rex rabbits can eat all the same foods that other pet rabbits can eat.

Breed doesn't affect diet, although individual rabbits can have taste preferences, Allergies, and food intolerances, just like people.

Rabbits can eat carrot as a treat. Carrot greens are very healthy, but the carrot itself is high in sugars and starches. Too much carrot, or a bad diet of any kind, will lead to poor health and illness in your bunny.

A bite or two of carrot is enough for a 4 pound rabbit. Bigger rabbits can have more; smaller rabbits should have less.

Baby rabbits shouldn't start eating treats until about 6 months of age.
