Foods and Chemicals that are Dangerous for your Pet Rabbit

Avoid using chemicals on or around your pets, and be very
careful about hidden chemicals in or on anything you feed
your rabbits. It is believed that a major cause of the ever
more common cancers we are facing in ourselves and our pets
is the chemicals in our environment and foods.

The most common chemicals found in pet foods are Ethoxyquin,
BHA, and BHT, which are used as artificial preservatives and
to "replace" Vitamin E that is removed by processing.
Chemical additives and artificial preservatives like these
may cause dry skin, allergic reactions, dental disease, and
poor health, as well as stimulate adverse effects on liver
and kidney functions. Ethoxyquin is a dangerous chemical
that is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
as a pesticide. All of these chemicals are known to have
potential risks and yet are used in most of the lower
quality pet foods.

Another cause of chemical poisoning in pets including
rabbits is the chemicals in flea soaps and powders. Treat
fleas by using a flea comb and dropping the fleas into
alcohol to kill them. If you have a serious flea problem,
there are natural and non-toxic flea sprays (not aerosols)
that are made of mint and other plant oils. Nontoxic flea
products are usually available at your local pet supply or
even shops like Walmart and Big K at little or no more cost
that the traditional poisons.
