Rabbit eating paper?

Question

My pet rabbit, Marmaduke, has a craving for paper. He eats whatever paper he can get his paws on. Is it alright for him to eat it?

Answer 1

purplecatwarrior has no idea what she is talking about.

it is perfectly fine for him as long as the inks on the paper is animal safe!

Answer 2

No, it's not alright. He could choke or suffocate on it. If he has paper bedding, change it to Soft Pine shavings (oil-free). Pine is safer. If you don't have any paper, or don't want pine, use timothy hay as bedding. It works just as well. Just get his mind off of it and get all paper away from him! Good luck! ^-^  

Answer 3

Depends what kind of paper and ink it is.

Does your rabbit have hay at all times? If not, they are trying to get fiber elsewhere http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/diet....

Answer 4

Answer 5

Paper is perfectly fine for rabbits...they especially love paper towel tubes and chewing paper can also help wear their teeth down.  

Answer 6

I'm sure it's ok, my guinea pigs eat paper all the time...and they're fine...
