Can rabbits eat breakfast cereal and muesli mixes?

A quick, sourced answer from House Rabbit Society and RWAF guidance, with the why behind it.

Breakfast cereal and muesli mixes

Best avoided

Cereals and muesli-style rabbit foods are high in sugar and starch and encourage selective eating of the tasty pieces, leading to nutritional imbalance and gut problems. They are essentially junk food for rabbits.

How much: Never feed. Use a plain high-fibre hay-based pellet if pellets are offered at all.
