Cardboard
Cardboardius Fortis
Not as a meal—rabbits should not eat cardboard for nutrition. Plain, clean, unprinted cardboard can be a supervised chew for enrichment because it has cellulose, but it does not replace hay. Skip tape, staples, glue, and glossy printed panels, and call a vet if they swallow a large wad or stop eating or pooping.

Is Cardboard item toxic?
Plain, clean, ink-free cardboard is not a classic toxin, but it is not food. Swallowed chunks can form blockages. Tape, glue, dyes, and glossy prints add real risk—avoid those entirely.
Should I feed my pet Cardboard?
Not as a meal. Plain cardboard may be okay as a supervised chew toy if it is clean, unprinted, and your pet shreds small bits instead of swallowing wads.
How much can I feed them?
Keep it occasional. If your pet swallowed a large wad, tape, or glue—or stops eating or pooping—call your veterinarian right away.
