We have a lister at the pets list that is giving her pet bunny CS orally on a regular basis. The amount is VERY small at this point, but after doing this for an extended period of time there has been aboslutely no bad effect on the bun's digestive system. She did clarify for us that a bunny is not a ruminant but are monogastric hindgut fermenters (as are horses).
