Treats For the Bunnys
On one of the forums i visit, the subject of treats for our rabbits came up. i did a post about Yogies vs. SunMaid Yogurt Raisins ~ which, by the way, were less 'artificial' than the Yogies. Imagine my horror to learn that the new treat i was giving my buns, and that they seemed to LOVE, was something you shouldn't feed them! Evidently, raisins are bad for the rabbits kidneys. And i'm truly ashamed to have to admit that i've GOT links to several sites that list the different foods to encourage and which to avoid, but i had seen somewhere that someone else was doing it and assUmed (always a big mistake) that it would be okay...
Anyway, it just gets back to doing the research and trying to wade through all the (for want of a better word) 'middlemen.' i noticed, when i was doing research about the lifespan question, that a LOT of the links from the search engines were back to the same site/page/addy, so you need to invest the time to find those really good sites that provide you with trustworthy information. For the rabbits, i generally use the House Rabbit Society, which is organized by state.
Okay, so now i'm off to print the lists and will begin feeding my babies only GOOD stuff!
