  I let Pudding out for a bit of playtime and he came upstairs with me. We have a separate room for the hamsters and gerbils upstairs and I went to give some mealworms for the hammies. Pudding followed me into the room. I did not realise I dropped one or two mealworms and by the time I figured out he was munching on them, he ate all the few pieces! He seems fine, he is killing my gown at the moment but I hope he will be ok. Is he gonna be okay?

  He’ll most likely be fine with one or two meal worms. Just make sure he’s eating lots of hay and drinking water. If he starts showing signs of tummy trouble you will most likely be able to tell soon.

  Maybe he was just craving a little extra protein. I’m sure he will be fine. It isn’t completely unheard of for wild rabbits to eat little creepy crawlies on occasion. Obviously it isn’t something they should do regularly, but I don’t think a mealworm or two is going to hurt your bunny.
