📖About Can Rabbits Eat Butter?
Butter is entirely inappropriate for rabbits. It is pure animal fat, which a rabbit's herbivore digestive system cannot process. The high fat content would cause severe digestive disruption, potentially leading to fatal GI stasis. Butter also contains lactose and milk proteins that rabbits cannot digest. There is no scenario in which butter is acceptable for rabbits.
