the most are matchbooks and candles. Cassiel, it seems, will eat anything.
He begs like a dog whenever he thinks I'm eating something (he didn't learn
this from me, he pulled my plate of Chineses food down off the coffee table
one of the first nights after I adopted him) Hamburgers, chips, cookies,
ANYTHING, as long as we are eating it, he will try to pull out of our hands
mouths, or off our plates. Of course, we never let him eat any of this stuff
other than the odd small Dorito, or some bites of apple.

It seems all my rabbits have liked leather. I have a notch in my leather
belt, tooth marks in my leather motorcycle pants, and shortened laces on
my leather riding boots thanks to Hamlet. He also loved telephone wires.
I usually kept them out of the way, but sometimes I would use the
extension (temporarily) and it would fall down from where I hung it - chomp!
Honua loved salsa and ice cream. We never gave him any, but whenever we
were watching a movie, eating chips and salsa, he would stand up really
tall and reach over the coffee table and lick the salsa bowl (or ice cream
bowl) and sometimes knock it down.
Curtis loved Coca-Cola. He would stand up next to me on the couch and
reach up and pull down the can with his front feet and sneak a quick lick
before I could get it away from him. He would always shake his head really
fast a couple of times after getting a lick, too. Must have been the bubbles
bursting in his face (what a mess!)

Gloria's most favorite thing in the world to eat is the paint
on the baseboards.

muzzle is just the right size for the pudding cup :). One word of caution to
all...Never feed chocolate to a rabbit. Chocolate will give rabbits seizures,
even in s
mall amounts.

I am interested in your statement about feeding rabbits chocolate, as
here in the UK you can purchase packets of white chocolate drops called
'rabbit treats' (or something similar). I have feed my bunny these and
similar white chocolate drops daily for the last five years and have not
seen apparent problems. I would appreciate more information about the
seizures.

Our bunnie, Clover Rabbit, loves oatmeal. The old fashioned kind. Not
Quick Oats, but the kind you cook awhile. When we get a new box, she
sits on her hind legs and gently puts her paws on the top of the box
and nibbles out of it. We leave a dish on the floor with pellets, oatmeal
and water in our kitchen, where she spends most of her time. Oatmeal seems
to be her favorite treat and she eats probably a cup full a week.

There is no real chocolate in white "chocolate." White chocolate is
simply another product of the cacao bean. So I would assume it's okay.
Chocolate is upsetting to dogs, too, and can be deadly to them in large
amounts.

My rabbit ate alot of M&M's once when I left the bag open on the
table. He seemed to be ok. After that, he would come anytime I
shook a bag of M&M's and I started calling him "M&M&M&M&M" and
he would come to that from then on.

do like them.
Please, please, please don't let your rabbit eat those things, including
bread, etc., or you may not have a rabbit much longer.
Best,
Nona

eating a cotton swab. Fortunately for him, I snatched it out of his furry
lips. He didn't suffer from it either, much to my relief. My current rabbit,
Deborah, ate an elastic. I'm glad nothing bad happened since she has a
delicate gut.

All giving me a half heart attack worrying about how his little body was going to get that out! So far he's happy healthy and alive! But all your comments make me feel better. Although I still won't let my guard down. They are so ornery. 🐇🐇🐇

You would have to do research on the affect Theobromine has on rabbits!

Theobromine from chocolate causes eventual cartiac arrest.
