Rabbits can have pumpkin?   Is it consider food or treat?   If mine decide they like it, is there anything I need to watch out for, like gaining weight, poopy problems? 

Mine really only eat lettuces, parsley, cilantra and just about every fruit I give them.  I have tried some other vegetables, but those get snubbed.  Never even knew they could have pumpkin...obviously.  lol   It's not like they really care, but I feel bad feeding them the same stuff all the time.  lol

Yes they can have pumpkin, try small bits of it first and watch for tummy problems. Definitely only give in moderation though.

Pumpkin is safe, but should be reserved as a treat, like other types of fruit and carrots. Too much can cause poopy butt, and I know that's an issue you've been dealing with. So in your case, I would not give any pumpkin (or anything new) until you get that under control.

Ok. I will keep that in mind. I don't know that I would remember when I go grocery shopping anyways. ha But I definitely don't want them to have problems again, so all they are getting treat-wise is a tiny bit of the peaches I'm eating and a raisin or two a day. I'm sure they are feeling deprived. LOL Like I've said, Eddie's driving me nuts with his begging and staring and pawing and kisses........all for raisins. hehe I did order a couple of bottles of the papaya tablets for them. They didn't start having problems really until I started using dried fruits (like Gerber graduates mini fruits), fresh fruits, and oats and crackers as treats. Yes, I know. No crackers or oats. Learned my lesson on it all.

I feed pumpkin when my bunnies are shedding. It is very high in fiber and can help with passing any digested hair in hopes to stop any GI Stasis and tummy troubles during that time.
They love it, and so does my dog LOL
