Will marshmallow make a rabbit ill?
Don't worry, I'm not considering treating our rabbits to marshmallows. I've caught my daughter feeding one of our rabbits marshmallows through the hutch.
I'm aware that they have very sensitive digestive systems and I'm just wondering whether this is something to worry about or not. The vets are closed for calls except emergencies now so I thought I'd ask here before consulting them. |

Just thought I'd update this as I called the vet anyway. The rabbit should be fine as there aren't any toxic substances in them, just have to watch for digestive problems due to the high sugar content.

So you have to be careful with them. But yeah, he should be fine though

Yeah I'd have said be careful more because of the sugar content if a rabbit was to eat them regularly. It'd rot their teeth for starters.
