Can rabbits eat avocados and tomatoes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Some fruits and vegetables are okay as a treat, but they shouldn't be a regular part of your rabbit's diet. Rabbits should mostly eat hay; they should also eat pellets and fresh leafy greens daily.

Neither tomato nor avocado are good for rabbits.

Tomato leaves, vines, and stems are toxic to rabbits. Tomato fruit is not toxic, but it isn't very healthy, either; it may not be dangerous as a treat, but there are better treats to choose from (like carrot, blueberry, papaya, or pineapple).

Avocado contain persin, a compound known to be toxic to rabbits. Rabbits should not eat avocado, especially not the leaves or pit.

How long do avocado pits grow roots?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you live in a temperate climate simply throw it into the compost and you'll get avocadoes sprouting up where you spread the compost.

You can half submerge it in a pot of compost or soil and water it - it will split, send up a shoot and then grow roots.

If you live in a colder climate you can stick tootpicks into the side of the pit and suspend it over a glass or jar. Fill the glass with water so that it touches the bottom of the pit. It will send out a shoot and roots will grow hydroponically down into the water.

These methods will work fine if you want an avocado as a house plant for the foliage. If you are hoping to grow your own avocado fruit be prepared for disappointment. You would be better off buying a grafted tree from a nursery.

The avocado is a forest tree and would not normally bear fruit until it reaches the top of the forest canopy.

If you grow your own avocado from the stone you should wait till the main shoot is 1 foot tall and then cut it back to 6 inches. This will encourage the plant to produce side shoots and will increase the liklihood of it bearing fruit sooner.

Great Answer! Let me add one note, When your plant is successfully grown for indoor display it does not like to go outside in direct sunlight, just keep it inside. The direct sunlight will kill it within a matter of hours.
