No, pet rabbits can't eat sweet crackers. You shouldn't give your bunny any kind of cracker, cereal, bread, cookie, or any kind of processed food made for people at all.
The only kind of "people food" that rabbits can eat are some fresh vegetables and fruit. Dark leafy greens are best (like romaine lettuce, basil, carrot tops). Non-leafy vegetables and fruit are good as a small treat (like carrot, apple, berries). Rabbits mostly eat hay, with some rabbit pellets and some fresh leafy greens daily. Other foods are unhealthy for your bunny.
A poor diet leads to ill-healthy, obesity, illness, etc. See the related questions below for more info and links.
my bunny eats them all the time..
now whether its bad for them or not.. i have no idea..
It is not bad for them, Although they may get fatter or more energetic quicker, and sleep less, making them agitated
One opinion
Rabbits would love to eat cereal because it is sweet! However, they should not be fed it as it is very bad for them to have too much sugar! (Despite those begging eyes, be strong.)
It's not just the sugar, but many other ingredients in cereal that aren't healthy and can make rabbits sick. Bunnies that stick to a diet of lots of hay, some plain pellets, and some fresh veg and fruit (especially dark leafy greens) tend to live longer, happier lives and avoid many common illnesses.
Another opinion
Yes, they can they can eat anything really but don't give it too much otherwise it would get an upset stomach! But remember rabbits are vegetarians!
A lot of cereals today contain a lot of sugar. This is not good for rabbits.
Rabbits however eat most of the stuff in cereals, just not normally in its processed form as in cereals.
I am sure they would enjoy a snack of cereals, but only the ones without sugar.
As long as cereals are sugar and chocholate free, only natural stuff, then they should suffer no adverse effect from this.
Rabbits do need food rich in fibers though. This both for the sake of their stomack and their teeth. A rabbit need to work a lot with his teeth. If not they grow too long and he can not eat any longer.
Some people do feed their rabbit the occasional Cheerio and they say it's fine, but the experts agree that rabbits shouldn't eat any processed grain products, or "human" foods, like Cheerios.
In the wild, rabbits eat occasional grains, but only in their whole form: when grains are processed, they lose their nutritional value (bran) and their sugars and starches are increased (which is very unhealthy for rabbits). Rabbits get all the grain nutrients they need from their specially formulated pellets: they don't need any more as treats.
If you want to give your rabbit a treat, stick to whole, natural, fresh foods, because fresh vitamins and nutrients are what pellets are missing: e.g. fruits or vegetables (like squash, carrots, berries, apple). You can also offer an occasional oat groat or wheat berry: this is the grain in its whole form - this is NOT the same as oatmeal, rolled oats, bread, crackers, etc.
Treats must be limited in a rabbit's diet, so if you offer things like Cheerios, which have no nutritional value for rabbits, then you're missing out on the opportunity to offer foods with good nutrients and vitamins. Too many sugars, starches, carbohydrates etc in a rabbit's diet leads to illness (like gas, GI stasis, obesity, etc). Make sure you're feeding your rabbit a balanced diet of hay (as the majority of the diet, in unlimited amounts), and pellets and fresh veggies daily (dark greens like kale are ideal). The House Rabbit Society recommends no more than 2 tablespoons of fresh treat foods per day for a healthy, normal 6-pound rabbit.
Although it may seem tempting to spoil our little friends with our tasty treats, it is often bad, if not lethal, to do so. In general a rabbit will do best with a diet of measured timothy-hay pellets, unlimited timothy hay, and a handful of rabbit safe vegetables and fruit. And don't forget the fresh water!

Yes, but they have specific dietary needs that must be met in order for them to grow and flourish. Rice can't be their only food.

Dutch rabbits eat the exact same diet as other pet rabbits. See the related link below for details and links about a healthy rabbit diet. Rabbits need lots and lots of hay, first of all.

A cat can eat Weetabix cereal. There is nothing toxic to a cat in the cereal. The diet of the cat should not depend on the cereal because the nutrient the cat needs to thrive is different than that of a human.
