Why are crackers bad for rabbits?
A rabbit’s diet is a pyramid with hay at the base: roughly 80% grass hay, 10–15% leafy greens, and a small daily pellet portion (House Rabbit Society model). Anything outside that pyramid is a treat — and sugar is the enemy of the gut flora that keeps a rabbit alive.
Same problem as bread: concentrated starch and salt with zero fiber value. Rabbits offered crackers eat less hay, and the starch load feeds harmful gut bacteria.
