Can rabbits eat chocolate?
The Merck Veterinary Manual lists chocolate as toxic for rabbits (“do not feed”), and so does RSPCA Australia.
Did your rabbit eat some?
Call your vet or an emergency vet clinic right away, ideally one that treats rabbits. Tell them what your rabbit ate, how much and when.
- Outside office hours, an emergency vet clinic near you can help.
- Take the packaging or a leftover with you.
