There are many foods that you should not feed a rabbit. For example, look at the list of known dangerous plants (linked below). If you have a rabbit, you might find it easier to consider what the rabbit should eat, and stick within those boundaries, instead of wondering what the rabbit can't eat (becuase the list is long!). What you should feed them also depends to some degree on what they like.

In general, rabbits shouldn't eat processed human foods, rotten or spoiled foods, seeds, nuts, dairy, meat products or byproducts, grains (with a very few exceptions), light-coloured lettuce, beans, tomato leaves, and dead grass, or processed sugars. Many vegetables, fruits, and rabbit foods are okay (at least in limited amounts), but it isn't recommended to experiment with anything else.

How much and how often should you feed your 13 pound averaged sized pet rabbit?

i have a 12.5 pound french lop eared rabbit. He eats about 1 1/3 cup of rabbit feed each night. And a little bit of parsley through the day. You can feed your rabbit a little over a cup every day at the same time, or feed him/her half in the morning and the remaining at night. BUT be sure to stay with the feeding routine. If you feed your rabbit all his/her food at the same time, remember what time you fed your rabbit and feed him/her that same time the next day.
