Niblet really loves his "crack"--a special mix I get at the pet food store with dried fruit, nuts, and seeds in it. I've read that it's bad to give your bunny nuts and seeds, but the little guy really loves them! And he's been eating this mix (he gets a 1/4 cup each night as a little treat) every night for over a year now and he's healthy as a little horsey. Am I being a bad mother? He gets so excited when I go near the cabinet where I keep the crack; he binkies around me in circles, jumping and shaking his whole body with excitement. How am I gonna take that away from him?

Our bunny Buddy gets nuts and seeds in his mix every day too. I've never heard about it being bad. Do you know why we're not supposed to feed them these things?
Oh but you'll make Niblet too chubby!
I confess to just an occasional dried cranberry or sliver of almond. No seeds though, I think they're probably bad for the bunny gut!
I think Laura's right--but he loves them! Why would the pet food store sell that mix if it's bad? (sorry, I'm naive)
Maybe I'll go through and get all the seeds out... just leave the dried fruit and squished almonds in there. I'll have to research it and get back to you!
