Rabbits should not eat Paper—skip it entirely.

Paper

Charta Ludens

No—rabbits should not eat paper. Ink, dyes, gloss coatings, and glue can cause sickness or blockages if chewed and swallowed, so keep printed and colored sheets out of the pen.

Stick to safe foods and enrichment. If you offer cardboard for chewing, use plain, unprinted pieces only and ask your vet when you are unsure.

Guideline: Never Feed

Type: Miscellaneous

Other Names: Printer paper, notebook paper, tissue paper, newspaper

This is wood pulp that is used for writing, printing or other design uses.

No. Do not feed paper to rabbits, guinea pigs, or chinchillas.

Do not offer as food. Plain unprinted cardboard for chewing is a separate topic—ask your vet about safe enrichment.
