No. Rabbit pellets are too low in fibre, especially the kind of fibre that wears down the rabbit's teeth; they're also too high in protein and fat to be the only source of food. Rabbits should also have plenty of hay (unlimited access), and fresh leafy green vegetables are also healthy. See the related question below for more details about the rabbit diet and helpful links.

Catnip is safe for rabbits to eat, although it's common for rabbits to avoid and dislike it. But, if your rabbit likes fresh catnip, there's nothing wrong with letting her eat it! However, most people recommend not giving your rabbit catnip cat toys because, as a general rule, dried herbs and spices should be avoided because they're so potent.

I have a cat myself, but he has never ate dogfood in his life. Even so, cat food is made for cats, and dog food is made for dogs so it would be rare for a cat to eat dog food. But if your cat does eat it, then it probably won't do anything to your cat.

It turns into a rabbit -- you won't ever notice, because it happens very slowly over time.

Do dogs like catnip?

Many dogs enjoy catnip. My dog eats fresh catnip that grows in our yard and enjoys my cat's catnip toys more than the cat does. Before allowing your dog to eat catnip or play with toys, ensure that the catnip has not been sprayed with anything and that there are no squeakers or stuffing/fabric that the dog could ingest.


How can you tell if your kitten had too much catnip?

No, because catnip is harmless to cats. Some cats may vomit if they eat catnip leaves, or a large amount of catnip leaves, but that is a normal reaction when cats eat a lot of any plant. Otherwise, catnip will have no negative effects on your cat's health. It should be noted that some cats may react aggressively to catnip rather than happily. This is only because different cats respond in different ways to catnip. If your cat happens to seem angry after exposure to catnip, it does not mean that it has harmed him/her in any way.

Do rabbits eat weasels?

Is catnip safe for rabbits?

Fresh catnip is safe for rabbits. It isn't poisonous, anyway. Some rabbits like it, some do not. As with all new foods and rabbits, when giving catnip to a rabbit for the first time, offer only a bite or two; gradually work up to a handful over time (at least a week). Keep an eye on your rabbit's health and wellbeing. Only give fresh herbs to rabbits, not dried. Dried herbs are concentrated and the strong flavours can be overwhelming to a small rabbit. Generally speaking, avoid overwhelming or stressing out your bunny! Bunnies can react badly to shocking or stressful experiences -- they can get sick suddenly, or overtime they can turn into nervous pets. It's best not to give cat and dog toys to rabbits. Rabbits can hurt themselves or become sick by playing with cat or dog toys (particularly by eating parts of them -- rabbits like to chew but they have sensitive bellies and can't eat just anything).
