Ham
Sus scrofa domesticus
No—ham is not rabbit food. Rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas are built for hay and plants, not cured pork. Skip the slices, scraps, and holiday leftovers—your bunny's idea of a feast is still a full hay rack, not something that came off a platter.
Guideline: Never Feed
Type: Meats
Other Names: Honey ham, smoked ham, deli ham, holiday ham, ham scraps

Ham is not a classic plant poison, but it is the wrong food for rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas. Animal protein, fat, and high salt can disrupt hindgut fermentation and cause gas, diarrhea, or appetite loss. Do not offer any ham as a treat.
Should I feed my pet Ham?
No. Do not feed ham to rabbits, guinea pigs, or chinchillas.
How much can I feed them?
Do not offer ham. If your pet ate a noticeable amount, watch for soft stool, bloating, or reduced appetite and call your veterinarian if symptoms persist.
