It depends on the rabbit's size and personality if he/she will eat it slowly or fast. Carrots are high in sugars and starches and should be limited in a rabbit's diet as a treat food. Carrot greens are excellent and can be included in the rotation of daily "salad" greens, but carrot itself should be limited: The House Rabbit Society recommends no more than 2 tablespoons per day of treat food (including carrot) for a normal, healthy 6 pound rabbit.

Why do rabbits eat carrot?

Because they're high in sugar and rabbits have a sweet tooth; and, because they're at the bottom of carrot greens, which are also very yummy to rabbits (except, unlike carrots, the greens are very healthy!). It's not healthy for rabbits to eat carrots because they're so high in sugar. A rabbit can get diabetes and maybe die from too many sweets. A rabbit can also get gas from eating too much sugar, or can upset the balance of bacteria in the gut, and suffer gastric distress (and possibly death) as a result. A rabbit can also suffer gastric distress from not eating enough hay daily; and if the rabbit eats too many sweets, it will spoil its appetite for hay. Obesity can also result in the long-term from eating too many sweets, and obesity has another range of related health complications. Treats, like carrot, should be strictly restricted (one or two bites every couple of days is okay, assuming your rabbit is otherwise healthy and eating a healthy diet).

Why are rabbits allergic to carrots?

Rabbits are not actually allergic to carrots. Some rabbits may have sensitivities to certain fruits or vegetables, including carrots, due to the sugar content. It's important to introduce new foods to rabbits gradually to monitor for any adverse reactions.
