Review Details

I know a lot of people have heard that the enzymes in papaya can help to break up blockages and hairballs, but it's just not true. The most they can do is maybe dissolve a little of the mucous that binds them together, it does nothing for the hair or other particles in the mass. So I don't consider this an essential like many others do.

It is an appropriate treat, as long as you remember it's a treat and not a necessary health supplement. One every few days shouldn't hurt.

Update: I ordered a free sample out of curiosity. Mocha and Loki won't eat them. The other buns will, but they'll usually eat anything (although Loki usually does too). They're not thrilled with them though. I'm glad I didn't spend any money on them.

On the plus size, the treats are much smaller than the papaya tabs in health stores, so these are a better choice.

Good point! Its a yummy treat though, and healthy compared to most treats on the market for bunnies.

I've heard this, too. And as with any food, especially treats, always start off very slowly. Rabbit guts are easily upset by introducing new foods.
