📖About Can Rabbits Eat Honey?
Honey should not be given to rabbits. It is essentially pure sugar, which is extremely harmful to rabbit digestion. The high sugar content disrupts the bacterial balance in the cecum and can lead to GI stasis. Raw honey additionally carries a risk of botulism spores. Many commercial rabbit treats contain honey as a binding agent, but rabbit welfare organizations recommend against these products. Rabbits do not need and should not have concentrated sugar sources.
