General stuff which is bad

Sugar, milk, yoghurt, salt (salt licks), chocolate, bread, treated branches (found in baskets), painted wood, cords, too much cardboard, cheap cereal like bunny food from the store and any super processed food.

Important! If you introduce your bunny to something new, always do it really slowly and only in tiny amounts. You can slowly give more as time goes by. Giving too much new food can lead to bloating and stomach problems!
