Can a rabbit have yogurt covered pretzels?

I just got this little guy a day ago, he's atleast 6 months old. Can a rabbit have naturally-vanilla flavored yougurt covered pretzels?Can a rabbit have yogurt covered pretzels?
Too much sugar and salt.





Candies/Sugar





These can include everything from yogurt drops to sweetened papaya tablets*. High sugar is the culprit here. Many rabbits have a sweet tooth, but sweetness means a high content of sugars. As we discussed above, excessive sugar is converted to fat or will pass into the cecum where the bacteria will use it for energy and then rapidly overgrow, possibly leading to bacterial imbalance and GI stasis. The same can occur after feeding too much fruit. Avoid feeding your rabbit simple sugars and instead stick with nutritious treats such as vegetables and herbs. Save the sweets for an occasional raisin or banana snack.

Well, they do make yogurt chip treat for rabbits found in the pet aisle of stores that sell pet supplies.


Yogurt can be a good pro-biotic for the rabbit's system. Pro-biotic meaning an herbal medication that is good for building up the good bacteria in the rabbit's system to fight illness.





Pretzels however I would not suggest as a regular treat for a rabbit, but it is something that I would not see harming them if they had one or two.





It certainly is not unheard of that rabbits are given and quite enjoy treats other than ';rabbit specific'; foods. The key is moderation.


If you do choose to feed something that is not recommended or found to be safe, do it in moderation.





Even something like yogurt that can be good for a rabbit, too much can be bad.





Other rabbit friendly treats, given in moderation:


Froot Loops


Cheerios


Shredded Wheat


Banana Chips (other freeze dried fruits)








Side Note: A rabbit is NOT a rodent! Rabbits are classified in the lagomorpha group. They have an additional pair of incisor teeth directly behind the larger pair in the upper jaw. This separates them from ';rodents';.
I wouldnt recommend it its to risky. A rabbit is a member of the rodent family so if you want to give him human food try things like crackers, Cheetos, Chips, Carrots, Lettuce stuff like that.
Not much. It's not the ';natural'; or the ';vanilla'; or even the yogurt that's the problem, it's the sugar. In their natural diet, rabbits never get sugar. If you give him too much, he could get diarrhea, and it's not unusual for rabbits to die from it.


Use moderation. Half a pretzel once a day should be fine, but watch him to see if you upset his stomach.


For healthier treats, look at some rabbit websites. A lot of types of lettuce aren't good for him, but I'm sure he'd love some parsley or cilantro from your fridge.
ask ur vet or check it out in google
NO! It's not o.k to feed your bunny yogurt covered pretzels. The coating is not real yogurt, and although yogurt is good for sick bunnies, the yogurt coating is full of sugars, preservatives, and waxy like substances that can block your bunny's digestive track. Pretzels too aren't good for bunnies either. They're not made with natural ingredients and can make your bunny sick. I own two bunnies and they only eat pellets, hay, small slices of apple, romaine lettuce and lots of water. So if you want your cute little baby bunny to live for more years to come, I suggest that you don't feed him yogurt covered pretzels.
As an occasional treat and only in a very small amount, it's fine. When I had rabbits, I trained all of our to come on command using yogurt covered raisins. Just don't overindulge him even though he'll beg for more and pester you for more--it is a treat only.
Please do NOT feed your rabbit yogurt covered pretzels! Yes, I know that pet stores sell yogurt covered treats labeled specifically for rabbits, but they are not good for rabbits. The companies who sell these products are interested in appealing to people with their treats since people are the ones with the money who will buy the treats; this doesn't mean the treats are good for rabbits.





First of all, like lactose intolerant people, adult rabbits don't have the right enzymes in their systems to digest milk products like yogurt. As such, if your rabbit eats yogurt covered anything, he will very likely get bloated and have a tummy ache for awhile. If you make a habit of feeding your rabbit yogurt-covered stuff, he could very well get sick enough to have to go to the vet. Another answer giver mentioned yogurt being good because of the probiotics in yogurt. Unfortunately, the kind of sugary yogurt coating they put on pretzels doestn't have the good probiotics in it. If your vet agrees that your bunny needs probiotics for good intestinal health, she will probably recommend a product like Prozyme which is specially formulated for pets.





Secondly, a treat like a yogurt covered pretzel is going to be filled with sugar, and starch. Although rabbits love to eat sweet stuff and may beg for it, rabbits cannot digest non-fructose (fruit-based) sugars very well, nor can they digest starchy foods (like pretzels made out of processed white flour). As with the milk products, these items can cause bloat and stomach aches. If a bunny's digestive system gets too upset by these kinds of treats, the bunny can suffer what is called ';gastrointestinal stasis,'; which means the bunny's digestive system stops working correctly. This can be very painful for the rabbit and can even lead to death if you don't take him to the vet. For this reason, you should not feed bunnies any type of sugary, starchy human treats. This means no Fruit Loops, either as mentioned by another answer giver.





Finally, a yogurt covered pretzel is way too caloric for a rabbit. In the wild, rabbits would subsist on low calorie foods like grass. Their bodies are not adapted to eating highly caloric foods. Rabbits can very quickly become obese if they are fed human treats like pretzels with any kind of frequency. And just like with people, obese rabbits have lots of health problems. They also can't groom themselves properly because then they can't reach everywhere they need to clean.





If you want to give your rabbit a sweet treat once in awhile, stick to all natural, unsweetened fresh or dried fruits. A small slice of banana or apple, a fresh berry, or a raisin are good *occasional* treats for bunnies. (Avoid ';craisins'; because these are coated in oil and sweetened with sugar.) For everyday, baby carrots are good treats. If you really want to spoil your bunny with a ';cookie'; type treat, do so very sparingly, and get rabbit-safe treats from pet stores that really specialize in rabbit-safe products rather than PetCo or PetSmart. Bunny Bytes and Busy Bunny are two of my favorite on-line vendors for bunny-safe products.





Be sure to also check the House Rabbit Society's website for lots of good information on bunny safe treats.
I am sure that a few won't hurt him...
It should be ok for the rabbit. A pretzel is primarily just bread and rabbits can eat bread. And yogurt is normally given to rabbits after they are given a strong antibiotic like penicillin G to help encourage the growth of good bacteria. So yes, I'd say it should be ok.





What you want to avoid feeding your rabbit is vegetables, lettuce, fruits, greens, grass, etc. These can all give your rabbit diahrrea. Stemmy hay is good to feed your rabbit such as timothy hay or orchard grass hay. A half slice of bread is also good for them due to the way the rabbit's digestive system absorbs nutrients. Bread helps give them essential B vitamins. Normally its best to just stick with just the rabbit pellets and water, but stemmy hay and a half slice of bread a day won't hurt one bit.





Just remember this one thing when giving rabbits snack. Everything in moderation. Snacks should never compose over about a fourth to a third or so of your rabbit's diet.
NO! Neither the yogurt nor the pretzel are good for your bunny.


Your bunny needs hay (at his age, alfalfa hay) and unlimited pellets and it's OK to start him on greens. See:

I think the way to be sure is to ask the following questions:





-- Does this stuff (yoghurt-covered pretzels as it were) exist in the rabbit's natural habitat?


-- Is it vegetable-based (as in... did it grow)?





If the answer to both questions is 'Yes', then you can be sure that it is safe for your rabbit. However, if your rabbit decides not to eat whatever it is, then it probably doesn't like it, and you should try something different.

Ps: I may be wrong, but as far as I am aware, yoghurt-covered pretzels neither grow, nor do they exist in the rabbit's natural habitat.
hi. when my rabbit was mabe that old i fed him somthing like that. i think its ok he wont get sick or anything. have fun with him!!!
