Rabbits have a specialized digestive system. Their distinctive ability to process fiber and nutrients makes them adaptable to many different environments, but their unique digestive systems mean that their guardians must be extra-cautious when feeding them.

A number of foods can disrupt bunnies' digestion and be harmful to their health. There are also a few foods-some of them surprising-that are potentially poisonous to them. Check out our list of 15 foods that you should never feed your rabbit:

1. Yogurt Drops

According to Rabbit.org, research suggests that yogurt drops may contribute to lethal cases of enterotoxemia, "a toxic overgrowth of 'bad' bacteria in the intestinal tract." If you're looking for a healthy treat to feed your bunny, try green peppers or Brussels sprouts.

2. Bread, Pasta, Cookies, and Crackers

These high-carb sugary treats will really only "treat" your bunny to stomach issues. Avoid foods high in sugar or artificial ingredients, as-like yogurt drops-they could potentially lead to enterotoxemia.

3. Avocado

When you think of ideal rabbit snacks, fresh fruits and veggies probably come to mind. Avocados, however, should never be included in your bunny's diet. According to Small Pet Select, this fatty fruit can be deadly if ingested by a rabbit.

4. Cereal

Feeding your rabbit cereal-like muesli, a processed food made up of flaked maize, peas, pellets, grains, and seeds-can lead to tooth and tummy problems.

5. Iceberg Lettuce

This may come as a shock, but you should avoid feeding your rabbit light-colored lettuce, including iceberg, as it can contain lactucarium, a chemical that can be harmful to your bunny's health if ingested. Iceberg lettuce also contains mostly water and will add little to no nutrition to a diet.

6. Silverbeet

Like iceberg lettuce, silverbeet-sometimes referred to as chard-is another leafy green that your rabbit should avoid. According to a veterinary center in New Zealand, the vegetable can cause your bunny to suffer from colic and bloating and should be replaced with high-fiber fruits, veggies, and herbs. Radishes, alfalfa, and rosemary are all great options.

7. Hamster Food

We get it. You may have more than one animal companion, and perhaps you were hoping to feed two birds with one hand, so to speak. But while rabbits require a special high-fiber diet-think high-quality Timothy hay, fresh vegetables, and herbs-hamster food will do little to nothing for your bunny's nutrition.

8. Walnuts

Walnuts are high in fat, not fiber, which can cause your rabbit uncomfortable indigestion. If you're looking for a healthy snack to feed your bunny, try fresh veggies or herbs.

9. Oatmeal

Although feeding rabbits oatmeal won't cause them major harm, it's not an ideal meal. Rabbits need large amounts of Timothy hay, hearty greens, and fresh water-oatmeal does nothing to boost their nutritious diet.

10. Chocolate

Chocolate is an absolute no-no for bunnies. As with companion dogs, chocolate has no place in your rabbit's diet. The sweet treat can be poisonous to rabbits and should never be fed to them.

11. Peanut Butter

Like walnuts, peanut butter-which is also high in fat-should be avoided. The creamy snack will do nothing for rabbits, except possibly give them a tummy ache.

12. Potatoes

Although potatoes won't necessarily poison rabbits, this human-favorite vegetable isn't ideal for them. Potatoes are high in carbohydrates and starch, both of which can cause issues for your bunny's digestive system.

13. Rhubarb

This common garden plant can be poisonous to animals if eaten raw. If a rabbit were to ingest raw rhubarb, he or she could die, although- according to the RSPCA -this happens rarely.

14. Meat

Some of you are probably asking, "Seriously?" We're just ensuring that we're covering all our bases! Rabbits are herbivores, meaning that they eat plants. Wild bunnies would not eat meat, and neither should your domesticated roommate.

15. Cauliflower

Cauliflower is a veggie, so it'd be a perfect, healthy snack for your rabbit, right? Surprisingly, no. Although vegetables are an ideal addition to the high-fiber hay that bunny diets require, cauliflower causes rabbits to bloat and become gassy. If you want to give your rabbit some fresh veggies to snack on, consider green peppers, beets, or radishes.

Here, we bust some rabbit myths...

1. A single bunny is a lonely bunny

Rabbits are social creatures and are happiest in the company of their own species. The best combination is a neutered male and neutered female. They can become extremely sad and depressed if kept on their own.

More on rabbit companionship.

Bunnies love company and become lonely and sad when they don't have companions of their own kind

2. They can live for up to 12 years

Pet rabbits can live between eight to 12 years. So it's good to think about whether you can look after them for this amount of time before getting rabbits.

3. They're masters of hearing

Most rabbits can actually turn their ears 180 degrees. This rotation can pinpoint the exact location of a sound. Wow.

4. Their eyesight isn't bad either

Rabbits have almost 360 degree vision, but they are born with their eyes shut.

5. They're closer to wild rabbits than you might think

These pets may come in domesticated colours and breeds, but their perspective on the world remains very close to that of their wild relatives. Because they're a prey species (they're hunted by other animals in the wild), life is all about survival and they are in a constant state of alert. This explains why many rabbits don't like being picked up and may run away, hide, nip or bite if you try - your hands are not too dissimilar to the claws of a bird of predators swooping down to catch them.

6. Rabbits communicate using a secret code

Well, it's not actually a secret code, but you could be forgiven for thinking it is because their body movements are so subtle. Rabbits clench their facial muscles and change their body position when they are feeling worried; signs you wouldn't notice if you weren't looking out for them. This is one of the main reasons they're so often misunderstood and don't get the correct care.

7. Baby rabbits are called 'kittens'

Cute. Female rabbits are called 'does' and male rabbits are called 'bucks'... in case you're wondering.

8. Rabbits and guinea pigs don't make good pals

These small pets used to be sold as a perfect match. But experts now agree that the species should be kept apart. Both animals use different methods of communication, so they can't understand each other and they also need different diets. Plus, rabbits can and do injure guinea pigs.

Rabbits and guinea pigs shouldn't be kept in housing together

9. Rabbits are banned from some ferries

Legend has it that rabbits being transported for food chewed through the hull of a 17th century ship, causing the deaths of many sailors. To this day, you cannot bring your rabbit with you should you wish to cross the Channel on Brittany Ferries. (Not that you would want to as rabbits find travelling even on short car journeys extremely stressful.)

10. Overgrown teeth are common in rabbits

But most overgrown tooth problems are preventable. Many owners end up making multiple trips to the vet because their rabbit has developed a tooth or associated mouth problem, like abscesses. But the vast majority of rabbit tooth troubles can be prevented simply by feeding them the right diet, although some are genetic.

Rabbits need a constant supply of hay or fresh grass to nibble on - in fact, 90 per cent of their daily diet should be made up of the stuff. An endless supply of hay and grass is essential if they're to maintain digestive and dental health.

DO

Feed your rabbit the right diet. They need a specialised rabbit food and their own body weight in hay to eat each day. See Bunnie's Breakfasts for other food to complement their diet.

Use the feeding guide. Remember your pet is an individual and the guide is just an idea. So a lively, playful rabbit may need more food than an older rabbit that doesn't do as much. If in doubt ask your vet.

Make sure your rabbit or other small herbivores (animals that only eat plants) have lots of good quality forage, like leaves and grasses, to eat.

Make sure your rabbit always has plenty of fresh clean water available.

Give your pet its own bowls for food and water and don't forget to wash up!

DON'T

Feed a lot of treats. If you do, reduce the food you're giving them at mealtimes.

Don't give human food snacks and treats to your rabbit. These are often too fattening for them and lead to them putting on weight.

Root vegetables (like carrots) or fruit can be given to rabbits as an occasional treat but not too often as they can are high in starch and sugar.

When you feed small your rabbit, don't refill half empty bowls until they've eaten all the food.
