It's more serious if rabbits get overweight - pigs can carry the
extra without so much physiological impact. They eat constantly so
it's best not to give them too much fruit. They can eat as much hay as
they want without it being a problem. Rodents can't be sick so they
are unilkely to overface themselves, unlike dogs who will eat until
they puke!
