Well oats are carbohydrates and should only be fed as a treat – I’m honestly not sure if the oats and shedding are related – that could be the season (longer days).

If it were me, I would not feed the oats every single day only every once in a while as a treat.

Rabbits do love oats for some reason too.

I sometimes give oats as a treat, but just a few crumbs of it. Did you mean 1 tablespoon? That’s way much. Don’t know about the shedding connection but oats are high in starch so they will make a bunny quickly fat amd can compromise his digestive system.

ok ok Sarita, no more oats for treats here…. i will blame it on you…

I make treat cookies with carrots smashed bananas and oats. I spoon em into one teaspoon and split it in half (i have 2 buns) They love em. I make them and give them eahc half 2 times a week. When I make them.

I give Bambi oats- 2 tbsp once a week. It was recommended by my Bothell vet as part of his baby bun diet; he’ll stop getting it once he turns 6 months.

I think the oats need to be fed in moderation due to the fact that they are a higher carb treat- and higher carbs lead to increased sugar in the gut.  I give my bunnies 1 teaspoon about once a week.

Sammy’s absolute favorite hay is the Oat Hay. You might try that as a daily option with the actual oats only an occasional treat.
