peanuts are high in fat and very low in fiber. So yes, peanuts are bad for rabbits, shells too.

I used to give them to my hamster. It's safe for squirrels to eat and they are rodents just like rats.

NO they are not good for rabbits. Rabbits shouldn't be fed anything that is a seed, a nut or a grain. They do better with hay and veggies. They are NOT a rodent. They are a lagomorph. Nuts have way too high a fat content for rabbits. They do not and should not have fat.

The peanuts are bad for them, especially if they are salted. Also, keep chocolate away from them, as it blinds them.

I find it hard to believe so many people out there are ready to give advice without anything to at least support it. Seems as a shame as Peanuts are a great treat for bunnies, I know mine LOVE them. Of course like all treats they should be given in moderation. The Peanut is not actually a nut but a bean! http://www.survival-center.com/foodfaq/ff4-legu.htm As long as your bunny is not overweight, and does not suffer from cecal dysbiosis: www.bio.miami.edu/hare/poop.html then a couple of little treats a day are not likely to cause problems. Peanut shells are not be a problem either, useually only a small amount is eaten to get to the peanut. They are composed primarily of cellulose, which is digestible to rabbits. Hope this helps.
