It might be that he is just stressed. He’s in a new environment with people that he doesn’t know very well yet, he may just be trying to adjust. My bunny (which I don’t know if you can give him these but..) loves these treats I get from Petco. They’re yogurt and wild berry flavored and he loves them! He freaks out whenever I bring out the bag! He also loves beet greens, but those you can only give them one a day or they’ll get sick.

I think you can give him treats, just not a lot or it’ll make him really sick. Especially at such a young age! The treats I was talking about for my bun (I had to look), are Vitakraft brand. It should say Vitakraft yogurt drops. I hope this helps! Remember, not too many treats!

Yogurt and yogurt treats are bad for bunnies so I would not feed them at all. Same with cheerios really. For now, I would just hand feed some pellets as treats. Once you start introducing fresh foods (slowly) you could try small amounts of fresh/dried fruits as treats. Raisins and Craisins are really popular treat options. 

If he really likes pellets then they are surely a good treat?! You know he likes them and they’re good for him so just use those for now. A treat doesn’t need to be something unusual.

I use my bun’s pellets as his main treats. I just measure out how many he gets in a day and grab from the measuring cup every so often so I don’t over feed him. He will do anything for them! He will hop up on my chest when I stretch out in his pen and just stay there nibbling. So cute! (He is not the biggest cuddle bug but if I have pellets he’ll tolerate lots of cuddles and kisses)

First off… No NO to those yogurt drops OR yogurt. Rabbits tummies are not meant to digest dairy products.

I would stay away from treats (other than pellets) until he’s at least twelve weeks old and then begin SLOWLY introducing one veggie a week at the most. Tiny portions and get larger so you can monitor his poos and ensure that none of the new veggies are bothering his stomach. Romaine lettuce or fragrant herbs like basil or cilantro are always good to start with!

I agree with TL, besides at 10 weeks pellets should be an unlimited staple for a bun not treats….and NO Dairy..
Mine loved sweet basil as babies so you could give a small basil leaf, or mint, or parsley, a nasturtium flower, a rose petal .. But give them sparingly.. as Tanlover said baby tummies need to build up to greens so at this stage using them as tiny treats would be perfect.

If you really want to give him something different for a treat I would consider making your own. Basically just take some pellets and grind them up in a food processor till very finely ground, or use a coffee grinder, add some water to make it a dough like consistency, roll it out into 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick sheet, cut it with a cookie cutter or just cut into small squares and bake at 325 for 30 mins, then turn the oven off and let treats sit in oven for one hour. Your bun should love em. They are meant to be a treat though and not replacement for his normal pellets. Here is the recipe, just omit the other ingredients http://bakebakebake.livejournal.com/1352167.html#ixzz2ZO8jx3J6

HI kay elle!
I just got my rabbit 3 days ago and his about the same age as your rabbit and i was wondering the same thing at the time, but now I use pellets as treats,he LOVES them, plus at that age they can have unlimited and It really helps having treats to bond with your rabbit.(he jumps in to my lap too!)
at first mine would eat anything other than hay and water(thats all the owner that i got him from fed him) right now I only have the T oxbow adult rabbit food (so I have only been giving him a few.. but now that I’m on the Internet again, I am ordering some Oxbow young rabbit food right now which will come tomorrow(I order from Wag.com, I suggest going there for food,treats,hay,toys,etc…but binkybunny is allways good for that stuff to )
P.S. I have started to give my bunny a little parsley after that I’m gonna go on to lettuce

Mind if I ask what exactly the pellets are called? Typically what a house rabbit should have and what a breeding bunny should have are different.

I’ve done a lot of research when deciding on pellets and decided upon Oxbow Rabbit Pellets (alfalfa for a growing baby).

Yah I’m using oxbow pellets
I heard there the best and my rabbit loves them
The exact names are:
Oxbow Essentials Bunny Basics – Adult pellets (timothy hay)
Oxbow Bunny Basics – Young Rabbit Food – Alfalfa Hay

I’m not giving my bun unlimited alfalfa pellets yet, because he has never had large amounts of any any kind of pellets
Once he is 1 year old I will switch him over to the adult food

He should be switched over to Timothy pellets at 6-7 months so he doesn’t become overweight. He should definitely be on unlimited pellets though. Babies need to have a constant supply available to help with their constantly growing bodies! How much are you currently giving him a day, Abby Gunn?

90% of the time, I just give pellets as a treat. It’s fine that they are part of the bun’s regular diet – they still think they are treats.

I agree with the others on no yogurt or cheerios. Bunnies can’t digest dairy or wheat/grain products.

Favorite treats around my house are dried fruit and craisins, but it’s ok if a bunny isn’t interested in them.

tanlover: I’m giving him unlimited now, and I will switch over at 6-7 months
Oh and sorry if you got confused I made 2 accounts here: Abby Gunn, and RabbitCare101(sorry I didn’t know it switched to the other account when I posted again)
Also I have started to give my bun small amounts of vedgies every morning (parsley and red/green leaf lettuce)

Is he liking them?? One of mine REFUSED to try any veggies for a WHOLE month before I finally poked him in the face so many times he tried grabbing it to throw it and then began licking his lips… hahahaha. One of my girls on the other hand has been gobbling them down since I first offered!

While I occasional give banana chips, craisins, raisins ect as treats, I usually just stick with pellets even though my bunny is old enough for other treats. My bunny has a set routine of when she gets fed so any time she’s offered pellets outside of her normal times she sees it as a special treat (even though it’s the same thing she eats every day).

Another thing you can do is make up a treat bag for him. Take a brown paper lunch bag, fill it with hay and some pellets. Tie the top and poke a few holes in it. Another popular option is to stuff a toilet paper roll with hay and hide the pellets inside. Simply offering the same old thing in toy form can make them go cray cray. It’s a toy. It’s food. It’s magical.

he Loves his vegies! It was very easy I just put them in his cage and he eats them right up

I had to stop the unlimited pellets.. he got kind of sick from going to fast into it.. so in a little bit I will just try a couple pellets each night and a tiny bit more each day in till he’s all good(i wish i had done that in the first place)
