📖About Can Rabbits Eat Sugar?
Refined sugar is extremely harmful to rabbits. It disrupts the delicate balance of bacteria in the cecum, leading to dangerous gas production, bloating, and GI stasis. Rabbits' digestive systems are designed for the slow fermentation of high-fiber material, not rapid sugar absorption. All forms of sugar — white, brown, powdered, and sugary treats — should be avoided.
