Toast
Tostus Deliciosus
Toast is bread that has been baked and then toasted for a crisp surface—fine for people, but a poor match for rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas. It is high in starch and carbohydrates their digestive systems are not built to handle, which can lead to painful gas, gut slowdown, or other serious issues. Skip toast entirely and stick to species-appropriate hay, greens, and pellets.
Guideline: Never Feed
Type: Seeds and Nuts
Other Names: Toasted bread, white toast, wheat toast
