yes, they can. they eat them to keep their teeth trimmed down because their teeth never stop growing. Pet rabbits should have lots of hay to eat to keep their teeth worn down (also it's good for a rabbit's digestion and peace of mind), and sticks, twigs, and branches can also be fun to eat for the same reason.

Some kinds of woods are poisonous for rabbits, so you shouldn't give them these twigs. For example, any woods that come from stone fruit trees, like cherry, peach, plum. Also, softwoods (like cedar and pine) may be toxic because of the phenols (the chemicals that make the wood smell nice), so they shouldn't be eaten, either.

Some woods safe for rabbits to eat include: willow, spruce, ash, birch, maple, juniper, poplar, apple, pear, hazel, and hawthorn.

Make sure that any sticks you give to rabbits are clean and don't have any pesticides on them, or car exhaust, or other poisons, or parasites or bugs.
