Carrots are only healthy for rabbits in small amounts, as an occasional treat. The House Rabbit Society recommends no more than two tablespoons of treat food a day for a normal, healthy 6 pound rabbit. Carrots are not particularly healthy for rabbits (they only contain a small amount of cellulose, which is the most essential part of a rabbit's diet), but they aren't bad for it either. For their main source of food, timothy hay is best. See the related link below for more info about the rabbit diet, and helpful links!
For the record, cellulose is pure dietary fiber; you can say that rabbits need a lot of fiber, probably because their active lifestyles require high metabolism.
Rabbits enjoy carrots a fair amount though, and so they make good treats. However, it should be noted that they enjoy more leafy vegetables (such as "romaine lettuce, escarole, turnips, collard, kale, parsley, thyme, cilantro,dandelion, and basil.") even more than carrots; From my own experience, they enjoy strawberries even more, but these should be given sparingly as they *are* bad for the rabbit if given regularly.
