While I never stopped my rabbits from eating a bug, I certainly didn't encourage that kind of protein intake.

And they can clean a turkey carcass like nothin' you've ever seen. Obviously, they are true omnivores unlike bunnies, but it is weird to see them chowing down on hard boiled eggs.

Anyone ever read the series as a kid? Super cute. I loved all the books when I was little. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunnicula http://littlesabledog.wordpress.com/

Without getting into the complexity of a rabbits digestive tract, different from a dog or cat, the design is for digesting plant sources. I wouldn’t feed your bunny any animal protein, no need for it and they can’t adequately process it. Rabbits can not vomit,any gastro problems can become very serious. Fiber is very important, keeps things moving!

And there is a youTube video of a cow chasing down a chick and eating it. OK, no more meat for the rabbit. He will be disappointed, as will my son. They'll both just have to deal with it. We'll do a sneaky switch with a fibrous treat.
