Parsnip or not? Empty Parsnip or not?

I bought some parsnip today to try with Pippin tonight but I cam across something on the net saying parsnip is toxic to bunnies. I thought it was similar to carrot and some advice online has been that parsnip is fine so just wondered what you think Smile xx

I've never fed it personally, but the medirabbit website says it's OK - I would think it's fine, but fed in small quantities because of the high sugar content. Smile

Not sure if this will link OK - http://www.medirabbit.com/EN/GI_diseases/Food/feeding_en.pdf The bit where it mentions parsnips is on page 6.

Oh just realised I had downloaded this before. Very good reference guide. I just find quite a lot of conflicting advice about the rabbit diet. Thanks for the advice Smile

Mine actually don't like parsnip but I didn't think it was harmful for buns.
