Eating question....
I was flicking through my rabbitlopedia earlier and came across a section saying that bunnies shouldn't eat straw, but my two do it all the time? Just wondered....

I read somewhere recently, that it isn't that it does them any harm, just that they don't get any nutritional good from it and I suppose it fills them up so they don't eat food with more nutritional goodness.

Re: Eating question....
I read the same thing. That straw is lacking the nutrition that hay has but I don't think it harms the bunny.
There's conflicting advice everywhere I know!

It is the same with horses, holds no nutritional value however they still eat it for some reason

Same reason we eat popcorn I suppose....
