There are many fruits that rabbits can eat, but there are also some fruits that are dangerous for rabbits. Even good fruits must be limited in a rabbit's diet because too much fruit can lead to illness. See the related questions below for more info.

Rabbits shouldn't eat canned fruit. Fresh fruit is better for rabbits than canned fruit. Fresh fruit has vitamins and nutrients that are lost in preserved (canned, frozen) fruits. Canned fruits also often have sugar added, and this is bad for rabbits and should be avoided. Rabbits shouldn't eat "human" foods that have added sugar, salt, flavour, etc.

Sometimes, when a rabbit is sick and needs to be force-fed, and a commercial food supplement isn't available (like Critical Care), a homemade mixture can be used: canned pumpkin (100% pumpkin, not pumpkin pie mix) or mashed carrot in a jar (baby food -- 100% carrot) can be mixed with crushed pellets and watered-down Pedialyte. This should only be done by experienced rabbit owners, though, and it's not a suitable food for healthy rabbits. If your rabbit isn't eating, and you're not experienced with force-feeding, you should bring the rabbit to a vet immediately.

A good diet for rabbits consists mostly of hay, plus some pellets and fresh greens daily. Treats -- like fruit -- should be strictly limited because too many can make a rabbit ill. See the related question linked below for more info about the rabbit diet.

No, rabbits can't eat all fruits.

Some fruits aren't safe for rabbits at all -- mostly, these are the same ones that aren't safe for us, like mistletoe and holly berries. See the related link (below) about toxic plants for more.

There are also many plants where the fruit is safe to eat, but other parts of the plant are not. Common examples include:

Apricot, Cherry, Peach, Tomato -- all parts except the fruit itself are dangerous (avoid stones/pits, stems, leaves, twigs)

Apple, Pear, Plum -- seeds/stones/pits are dangerous

Because some foods are safe for rabbits, and some aren't, it's a good idea never to feed a rabbit something unless you know it's safe:

  1. Check online to make sure it's safe for rabbits generally
  2. Start off with very small amounts and wait a week or so before increasing the amount -- rabbits can have food intolerances and Allergies, just like humans

Fruits are only safe for rabbits in limitation. Too much fruit can lead to many different kinds of sickness in rabbits. The House Rabbit Society's guideline is no more than 2 tablespoons of fruit a day for a normal, healthy 6 pound rabbit. A good rabbit diet consists mostly of hay, with some high-quality pellets and fresh leafy greens daily.

I don't know if rabbits can eat the fruit itself, but I would avoid it because, according to the source linked below, passion fruit vines are toxic to rabbits. See the related question below for more info about the rabbit diet.

Fruit must be limited in a rabbit's diet because too much can make a rabbit sick. The House Rabbit Society advises no more than 2 tablespoons of fruit or sugary vegetable (like carrot) per day for a normal, healthy 6 pound adult rabbit.

Yes, rabbits can have pretty much any citrus fruits you would eat. Just be sure to feed fruits to rabbits sparingly. Fruit is high in sugar and should only be fed as a treat.

You probably could feed them passion fruit and they may love it but it might also be a little acidic for them so it's probably best not to feed them too much.

My passion fruit had a bite taken out of it by a fruit bat.

Next time I think I'll pick a dragonfruit instead.
