Pickle juice. Can rabbits and rats drink it? If so, what's the benefit(s)

I haven't heard of anyone recommending pickle juice for rabbits or rats, but there are many odd anecdotes out there that don't have any real scientific basis. This is one of them, so good on you to ask an expert. The truth is that they probably could drink it and be fine, but there is no known benefit and it would be an inappropriate addition to the diet; especially for rabbits. For those reasons, I would not recommend giving it to them. I recommend sticking to the professionally formulated diets and natural diet for optimal health.
