How much fruit is a rabbit allowed to eat?

Answer 1

A good guideline is 1 or 2 tablespoons of fresh fruit a day for a normal, healthy rabbit that otherwise eats a balanced diet of lots of hay, some high-quality pellets, and some fresh dark leafy greens daily. See the related question below for more info.

Answer 2

Fruit should be limited in a rabbit's diet because too much can lead to illness. The House Rabbit Society advises no more than 2 tablespoons of fruit a day (or sugary veg, like carrot) for a normal, healthy adult 6 pound rabbit. See the related question below for more info about the rabbit diet.

Answer 3

Assuming the rabbit is healthy, and eating a balanced diet of mostly hay, with some high-quality pellets and fresh greens daily, and plenty of water, a bite or two of apple every couple of days shouldn't cause any problems. Always remove apple seeds because they're toxic to rabbits. See the related question below for more info and helpful links about the rabbit diet.
