One answer: They can but it could be risky.

A more detailed answer: Bitter melon (a.k.a. bitter gourd, Momordica charantia) is not on the list of plants known to be toxic for rabbits (see link below), but it isn't only anyone's list of recommended foods for rabbits, either.

Rabbits should eat a diet of mostly hay, with some pellets and fresh leafy greens daily. All other foods (like other vegetables and fruit -- this would include bitter melon) should be considered treats, and strictly limited: an otherwise healthy rabbit is probably okay to eat a small bite or two of treat food every couple of days, but more than that can lead to health problems (dental and/or digestive).

Rabbits should be introduced to new foods very carefully: one at a time (not in combination with other new foods), in very small portions, and under close observation (watch the rabbit health carefully so that you'll notice any bad reactions to the new food -- this could be diarrhea or other stool problems, or an allergic reaction, for example).

See the related question (linked below) for more details and helpful links about the rabbit diet.
