          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.
