  I don’t think you can feed any potato because of the starch. Anyone else?

  I didnt think so either, but Jennifer here (the lady of this wonderful website) feeds her Jack sweet potato (generally a restricted veggie) due to his bladder stones.
  I read this in the Webcams page.
  Interesting.

  Yes, Jennifer feeds this to Jack but he also gets no pellets either and his vet has given this as a guideline.
  
  I have heard of people feeding their rabbits sweet potatoes in the past but it is a carbohydrate so unless there is a reason to feed them and your vet is okay with it, then it’s probably not a good idea. Jennifer does mention that it can be used in a very small amount as a treat.

  Well, it isn’t good idea to feed any kind of potatoes to rabbits if you are feeding them pellets, too. It is high in carbs. I suggest not to feed sweet potatoes at all unless vet say it is okay to feed it to sick bunnies.

  I saw on HRS or on here under diet etc that sweet potato is a no no.
  
  Previous to that I thought it was ok and gave mine a little bit. They love it and weren’t harmed. They were fine after eating it and the next day too.
  
  I think they preferred it baked or cooked somehow though.

  My bun Shinobu keeps escaping to get to the sweet potatoes when I’m not home. She goes crazy for them.
