My Rabbit seems to love dry dog food, is it OK for him to eat this - it does help wear down his teeth.

Question

He found some dry dog food/dog buiscits and he seems to love them. I think he must like the chiken taste lol. It wears down his teeth so do you think it is OK to give him a few as treats?

Answer 1

VERY few, yes.

Like one or two a day, nothing more.

They're not going to do him any harm, but they've got a high fat level and protein level- his dry food, hay, and gnawing toys/treats should be enough to keep the teeth worn down.

Answer 2

you provide them meat instead  of biscuit .

Answer 3

Usually, dog food does not contain real meat, so it is ok to give it to rabbits. Also, rabbits teeth are constantly growing, so if they don't always have something hard to chew on.. Their teeth will grow, curve backwards, and eventually, go into their brain through the roof of their mouth. This happened to my rabbit. So, only give him a few, but I would recomend only giving him the buiscuts

Answer 4

Rabbit's will eat almost anything. We had this huge black and white rabbit that chewed gum! lol! A few treats probably wont hurt him.

Answer 5

Make sure there isn’t any kind of meat product in the dog food. Rabbits unlike dogs are herbivores. Feeding a herbivore meat can cause problems, including some rare diseases. Aside from that I don't know.
