Rabbit not eating: What baby food is safe? Which ingredients to avoid?
Thanks for your follow up questions about Julius. It sounds like there are a lot of unsuitable baby foods around that would not be good for Julius, so I am glad that you asked! Ideally, if you are going to feed a vegetable baby food, it should ONLY contain the vegetable and no additional sugar or dairy, and we don't want any sugary vegetables (i.e. carrots). Therefore, I would not recommend any that contain corn, sweet potato, milk, or carrots. This may limit your options to spinach or green beans.
An alternative would be to grind up pellets (in a coffee grinder for example) and add water to them. This can then be syringe fed to Julius. This will provide more fiber than baby food, which may result in less GI upset than the baby food will.
I hope that this answers your question, and please feel free to ask others if needed!
