Any kind of processed fruit or vegetable requires refrigeration. Baby carrots have been processed, should be treated as potentially hazardous food, and should not be left unrefrigerated for more than a couple hours.

Is carrots is a good diet veggies?
If you're eating these as snacks while trying to lose weight, they'll both work fine. Another good veggie snack idea is celery. Celery is composed mainly of water, which means it takes as many (if not more) calories to chew and digest it than the celery actually contains. One thing I've done is to buy some all-natural organic salsa to dip the celery in. This provides you a flavorful snack that's low in calories and has a great crunchy texture. A final idea is to dip celery (or apples, etc.) in peanut butter. Don't be scared by the high caloric/fat content in the peanut butter. The fat in nuts is high in mono-unsaturated fat (aka the good kind). Eating one or two servings a day is a great way to keep your body fueled and your belly feeling full.

Are carrots healthy for rabbits?
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.
