No! Bunnies, rabbits, hares - whatever you want to call them eat only plants. No animals products whatsoever. No meat, no cheese, no milk. Hay, Oats, Alfalfa, carrots (always include the greens!), herbs, lettuce, and other green vegetables are all great for your rabbit. They will love fruit too, but they shouldn't get too much unless you want to give your pet bunny Diabetes!

no a cottontail rabbit is a pure herbivore, if a cottontail or any other lagomorph (with notable exceptions being the Arctic and Snow Shoe Hares) eats meat they could have a serious case of diarrhea and maybe even die from lack of nutrition. However lactating does have been noted to use bare bones and shed antlers as supplementary mineral sources.
