Apple skin is a good treat for rabbits: it has fibre in it (which is great for rabbits), and it's not as sweet as the apple itself. Still, apple skin is pretty high in sugars, so it should be considered a treat only. The House Rabbit Society recommends no more than 2 tablespoons of treat food per day for a normal, healthy 6 pound rabbit. See the related question below for more info about the rabbit diet.

Can rabbits eat apple skin?

Rabbits can eat apple skin but it shouldn't be a regular part of their diet. Apple skin and apple pieces should be considered a treat only: a small bite or two every few days is probably okay, assuming your rabbit is healthy and eating a balanced diet. See the related question below for more details and helpful links about the rabbit diet. Rabbit seeds are poisonous to rabbits, so always remove them before giving apple to a rabbit.

Should you feed your lionhead bunny apples?

Lionhead rabbits eat the same diet as all pet rabbits. Lionhead rabbits can eat apples but -- as with all rabbits -- only as a treat. Apple seeds should be removed because they're toxic to rabbits. Rabbits should eat a diet of mostly hay, with some fresh greens and high-quality pellets daily. Natural treats, like apple, should be limited or eliminated entirely from a rabbit's diet. Too many treats can make a rabbit sick. A small bite or two of apple once every few days should be okay for your Lionhead rabbit, or any rabbit, assuming she's also healthy and eating a balanced diet. See the related question below for more info and helpful links about the rabbit diet.

Can you wash rabbits which have flaky skin?

Rabbits with flaky skin probably have a fur mite infestation (Cheyletiella is the type of mite). Take your rabbit to the vet, who can give you the proper treatment for this. It is not a good idea to wash a rabbit with flaky skin. Baths can be very stressful for rabbits, and can lead to panic and injury. Because the rabbit has flaky skin, the skin is already very sensitive, and a bath could make things worse. Only a vet with experience and training in rabbits can help a rabbit with flaky skin. See the related questions and links below for more details.
