Rabbits will eat cheez-its and they will love them, but the salt is really bad for them -- not to mention the "cheez" flavoring. A healthy treat for bunnies is Post Grape Nuts. It's whole grain with no additives and bunnies love it.

No, rabbits can't eat Cheezies, for a few reasons: they can't eat dairy (including cheese), and they can't eat any snacks or processed foods made for humans. If you want to give your rabbit a snack or treat, you should stick to natural, fresh fruits and vegetables (like carrot, or berries). Treats should be limited in a rabbit's diet because too much can make the rabbit sick: the House Rabbit Society recommends no more than 2 tablespoons per day for a normal, healthy 6 pound rabbit. A healthy rabbit diet consists of lots and lots of hay, and some fresh dark leafy green vegetables and rabbit pellets daily. See the related question below for details and links.

No, rabbits can't eat any fried or cooked foods. Rabbits also shouldn't eat potato. Rabbits shouldn't eat any human "junk" foods or treats.

Rabbits should eat rabbit pellets, hay, and fresh leafy greens; they can had some fresh fruits and vegetables as a treat.

See the related question below about the right diet for a rabbit.

No, rabbits can't eat Cheez-Its, not even one as a treat.

Rabbits shouldn't eat any dairy products at all, including cheese. Rabbits are herbivores and vegan: they can't properly digest dairy products, and eating cheese can make them sick. (Even though some rabbit treats from the store are covered in yoghurt, this is not healthy for them and they shouldn't eat it!)

Rabbits shouldn't eat any commercial human foods, like crackers, cookies, cereals, candy, chips, etc. Grains and seeds should be a very small portion of a rabbit's diet, and that's what a bunny's pellets are for. Any extra carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are very unhealthy for rabbits. These kinds of foods also contain salt, sugar, artificial colours and flavours, preservatives, and other additives that are unhealthy for rabbits. Rabbits should never eat these kinds of foods.

If you want to give your rabbit a treat, use fresh fruit or vegetables like carrot, apple, squash, or berries. A bite or two is enough. Your rabbit will like these foods just as much as human foods, and they won't make your rabbit sick, so long as you don't feed too many. The House Rabbit Society recommends no more than two tablespoons of treat food per day for a normal, healthy 6 pound rabbit.
