Recommended Feeding Chart

Important Notes:

• Treats should not exceed 5% of total daily food intake due to the honey and sugar content.
• Replace treats when heavily fragmented to prevent large piece ingestion.
• Always provide unlimited Timothy hay and fresh water alongside treats.
• Monitor rabbits closely for digestive sensitivity to honey content initially.

Additional Information

Precautions

• Supervise initial use, ensuring your rabbit develops safe chewing habits without aggressive consumption or fragmentation risks.
• Remove and replace sticks immediately if splintered or fragmented excessively to prevent large piece ingestion or choking hazards.
• Treats are supplemental enrichment only; never replace unlimited daily timothy hay or species-appropriate pelleted food foundation.
• Rabbits should not consume honey regularly due to high sugar content, which can potentially cause digestive upset, obesity, or gastrointestinal stasis.
• Monitor rabbits closely for digestive changes or behavioral shifts indicating sensitivity to grains or honey, requiring discontinuation.
• Discontinue use and consult your veterinarian if your rabbit shows digestive upset, loss of appetite, or other adverse reactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Are Vitakraft Crunch Sticks safe for rabbits to consume?

Ans: Yes, when offered sparingly, these treats are safe for rabbits. However, the honey and grain content requires moderation as high sugar can disrupt rabbit digestion. Limit to 1-2 times weekly, maximum, maintaining balanced nutrition and digestive health.

Q2: How does the honey content affect rabbit health?

Ans: Honey is high in natural sugars exceeding rabbit dietary recommendations. While not toxic in tiny amounts, excessive honey consumption can cause gastrointestinal upset, obesity, or serious gastrointestinal stasis—a potentially life-threatening condition requiring immediate veterinary attention.

Q3: What purpose does the natural wood center serve?

Ans: The wood center encourages extended chewing, providing dental wear, jaw exercise, and mental stimulation long after the outer treat is consumed. This promotes natural foraging behaviors and satisfies instinctive gnawing needs, supporting psychological wellness.

Q4: How frequently should I offer these treats to my rabbit?

Ans: Offer a maximum of 1-2 sticks weekly, never exceeding 5% of total daily caloric intake. Treats should supplement unlimited timothy hay and pellets, not replace them. Monitor weight and digestive response, adjusting frequency based on individual tolerance.

Q5: Can young or pregnant rabbits safely consume these treats?

Ans: Young rabbits over three months can enjoy small portions introduced gradually. Pregnant or nursing rabbits should avoid these treats entirely due to the honey content potentially disrupting their specialized nutritional requirements during reproduction and lactation.

Q6: Why are these treats triple-baked?

Ans: Triple-baking creates extra crunch through multiple texture layers, enhancing palatability and promoting important jaw exercise necessary for dental health. The process also extends treat longevity, providing prolonged chewing satisfaction and enrichment value naturally.

Q7: What should I do if my rabbit shows digestive upset after consuming these treats?

Ans: Discontinue treats immediately and provide unlimited fresh timothy hay and water, promoting digestion recovery. Monitor for symptoms like diarrhea, bloating, or reduced appetite requiring immediate veterinary consultation if problems persist beyond 24 hours.
