  Hey everyone! I just wanted to add a little post here about a recent problem I ran into. I use water beads (orbeez for those of you with kids) and I use them for diffusing essential oils. Well they are very bouncy when they are soaked and squishy to the touch, I had to run and grab it from my bun when it fell to the floor last night. If she had eaten that it would have been bad- apparently they can cause constipation in small children so I can imagine what it would do to a bun! My buns love pushing little balls around and this was just another toy to them. Please check your kids toys and your house for any small like object that could cause blockage when eaten or worse poisoning!
  
  For those that don’t know what I am talking about when I say water beads here is a pic of them-

  Yes, if your kids play with def make sure to check there are none lying around. Those would be super tempting to a bunny. They love that rubbery texture.

  And whats worse I was researching the potential issues with kids and this substance can keep expanding causing a HUGE blockage problem in humans so my guess would be one of these guys in the gut of a rabbit would be fatal
