Hey is egg safe for my rabbits to eat?

[FelixIsConfused]

If you’ve seen my first post, he is alright; just an old happy bunny. But today bought some treat sticks to give him once I’ve cleaned the cage and noticed that one of the ingredients are eggs, is this safe for him?

I’m sure eggs aren’t immediately toxic or poisonous, but regardless, I wouldn’t feed any type of “seed” sticks to a rabbit. Although many of these types of treats are advertised for them, their use of corn and seeds is especially unhealthy and can cause bad indigestion for some rabbits as well.

I agree. Egg used as a binder isn’t toxic. I would be more worried about the seeds. Again, not toxic, but generally not considered healthy. If rabbits get any kind of seeds (like a sunflower seed, for example), it should be limited to just one as a treat. Not a whole stick of seeds.
