  I was wondering if this stuff was ok for the bunnies to eat. If you are not familiar with the Woodlands brand, it is all natural. The only one I am worried about is the last one, The Carrot Shaped Vegetable treat. Tell me what you guys think!

  First one is bread and corn. Second one is cereal (bread!) and HIGHLY fatty seeds that even in seed eating birds leads to fatty liver if eaten too much. Third one is cereal (so more bread) and animal tendons (gelatine). I don’t think I would feed any of those to my rabbits, to be honest.

  Just say thank you and take them, keep them in your room and let some “disappear” every so often? That way he gets to feel like he did something nice (which he did, though uninformed) and next time maybe if you drop some hints on things they really like (special veggies, etc) he might get the right thing? You could take some every so often to like a park with ducks and stuff and feed them so they don’t go to waste, it’d be fine for wild birds to eat, since it really is just bird treats packaged as rabbit treats.

  I told him Woodlands was a good brand because most of their stuff is, like their dried plants such as dandelions ect. But The stuff he picked wasn’t. :-/ He even called me and asked me what he should get but I said to let it be a surprise! I told my mom and she said my dad wouldn’t be upset.
  
  I forgot to add that he got me this as well! Its Woodlands brand too! The bunnies LOVE IT! They chew it, go in it, go on top of it ect.

  That’s very nice! I’m glad your dad won’t be upset. You can still feed them to the birds too so they can still be treats for some bird instead of some bun.

  Very cool your Dad brought home something for the bunnies! The 2nd one looks like a loose mix so you might be able to separate out the grains and use the rest. Try using a strainer. And the dried carrots you could use as treats. You could even try planting the seeds in a pot and see what happens! They could munch on the grass then.

  Grass? You mean the dish type thing?

  Is this the one you mean is dish-like? Is it like the carrot one, everything stuck together in a shape?
  
  I had thought it looked like a loose mix of dried herbs and some grains. So I was suggesting to plant the grains / grow your own wheat grass or barley grass etc. If it is one of those things moulded together into a shape I guess that won’t work!

  These remind me of a dried dandelion treat I ordered from England a while back, but I can’t recall the exact brand name. All natural and the buns loved it. It was a store named Pet Extraordinarium. I have heard of Pets At Home often from the UK bun site I visit. Some folks like it, some don’t…their reviews of it reminds me a lot of our Petco stores.
  Us parents often get things a bit wrong… (yeah, I said it…lol) Nice of him to try though.
  My hubby does stuff like this…brings something home and I have to gently tell him…Ummm. no, bunnies/dogs/cats don’t like/can’t eat this…he gets all put out. >.<
  Cute little wooden house though. One out of four isn’t bad odds.
