a rabbit’s favorite snack.

Just a PSA about this common myth - rabbits DO NOT naturally eat carrots.

Bugs Bunny popularized the idea, yet the only reason he ate carrots was as a reference/homage to Clark Gable in the 1934 film It Happened One Night.

Peter [Gable's character] pulls out a carrot with the long leafy greens still attached, peels the skin with a pocket knife, and nonchalantly nibbles on the vegetable as cars whisk by. Peter continues to give the lesson while speaking with a mouthful of carrots, a personal quirk reminiscent of Bugs Bunny's casual, carefree attitude.

Apparently a lot about Bugs Bunny was a reference to that character, including the phrase, "What's up, Doc?"

Anyway, I've seen pet-owners give their rabbits carrots as if it's a normal meal. It is not, and the high sugar in carrots can cause health issues. For the sake of your bunny, please get dietary advice from your pet's veterinarian - not from a cartoon that parodied a film character 85 years ago.

I, too, love carrots, but man, you can't tell me that a cheeto isn't more tasty.

I recently got my partner on board with replacing sugary snacks with carrots and it's great. Plan on making my own chutney soon from apples I foraged for recently, should be nice with some carrot sticks. Supermarket chutney is made with more sugar than fruit, I know it needs some to preserve it along with vinegar but they use way more than necessary. Any recipe I find the main ingredients are fruit/veg, any I find in the shop then the largest ingredient is sugar.
