  Everytime I give my rabbit a small sized paper for her to tear it by biting and sort of, she always eat the paper whole. Is this normal? Would it cause anything bad?

  They shouldn’t eat too much paper, it can cause a blockage in the intestines. A little bit of paper or cardboard is ok, but too much can cause GI issues. If she just eats paper you give her, I’d not give her paper. You can give her apple or willow twigs instead f ex. That’s healthy and natural for a bun and can barely be over-dosed. If you have a garden or know someone that has, you can get/ask for twigs of apple, willow, hazel, rowan, hawthorn etc – if you live in a place where those trees grow of course. Just make sure they’re not treated with pesticides (willow rarely, if ever, is treated with pesticides).
