Why is garlic 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.
Garlic is an allium like onion: it can damage red blood cells and cause anemia in rabbits. Concentrated forms (powder, supplements) are even riskier.
