This is my baby bunny rabbit Rosie. I've had her for almost 3 months now.
I took her to the vets today to have her checked over and to book her in to get neutered on monday. She was very stressed at the vets so when i went shopping i nipped into the petshop to buy her a little treat. I bought Chocolate raisins from the rabbit and small pet section. I assumed it was raisins covered in rabbit safe chocolate. She has chocolate drops at home and LOVES them. So i buy them and when i get home i give her a couple and put some in my pocket. As shes a young house rabbit i keep a few treats on me to treat her when she uses her litter tray. I took treats out of my poket and they started melting in my hand. Im pretty sure rabbit chocolate doesn't melt. So i smell one. smells very chocolaty. I taste one. It a real chocolate raisin. WTF?! you cant give rabbits real chocolate! what are the pet shop playing at selling this shit with their small animal treats?! They could KILL my rabbit, for what so they can make 99p a bag? seriously?!

I usually like to cover my rabbits in chocolate before eating them.

Such a pretty bunny! I would call the store and find out why they are selling them if they're not safe. Did you do a search online for any info?

My dog got in my daughter's room a few weeks ago and found a decent sized chocolate bar and ate the whole thing. And she's a diabetic! So I called the vet and she said it's takes a large amount for it to be toxic and to just watch her. Luckily she was fine.

yea she has yoghurt drops and chocolate drops but i saw them and thought shed like chocolate raisins. didnt think they would be REAL chocolate! twats! they are a mix of yoghurt raisins and chocolate ones.. im not sure is she can have the yoghurt ones either cos they are very sugary. :/ prob best not to. ill go back tot he pet shop and throw them at them!

aw
She's cute. My pomeranian recently ate a metric ton of semi sweet chocolate, I thought he would die given his weight and the levels of theobromine but he was fine. Stupid on them though.

my old bunny used to steal bit of chocolate all the time they do LOVE it but its not something you should be deliberatly feeding them tbh. It is not good for them too much sugar makes their heart rate increase. my old bunny died of a heart attack and a few days later i found a half eaten coffee chocolate under the bed :/

I usually like to cover my rabbits in chocolate before eating them.

thats the only way to do it

 

[pinkporridge]

i am very tempted to tbh..

 

[Skorpy]

i am very tempted to tbh..

I would hun. You got to think about how many more people are going to buy these treats for their pets, that could cause their pets problems.

 

[AUFred]

not worth it. The sales staff probably don't know any better.

 

[pinkporridge]

your right i might go back tomorrow

 

[pinkporridge]

then ill send trading standards round there lol

 

[Alien Allen]

contact the pet shop and confront them

maybe it is not unsafe and has a different make up than you are assuming.

 

[darkcgi]

Oh yeah I would be back in that store in a heart beat
I wouldnt make a big deal out of it
just explain
and if they dont seem to care or dont seem like they are going to do something about it
then I would let them have it!!!!!

 

[pinkporridge]

i may ask to see the original packaging as they are decanted into little plastic bags and weighed before being put on the shelf

 

[Thornless]

That's screwed up....
