If you have a bunny, you may be wondering, what can my pet rabbit chew on? Dried fruit is a great choice! However, you should make sure that you avoid giving your pet any object that is not intended for rabbits. Non-specific objects can cause harm and require emergency trips to the vet. Rather than spending money on an expensive vet bill, you can buy treats that your rabbit will enjoy.
By contrary beliefs rabbits need to eat more than just carrots. They require a well-balanced diet of pellets, hay, fruits, and vegetables. By using dried fruit, you can provide your rabbit with a variety of chewing options and give your bunny a healthy diet.
