According to the sources linked below, rabbits have been known to eat prickly Pears in the wild, and they are not known to be toxic. However, domestic animals have lost many of their wild instincts, and pet rabbits may not know how to eat prickly pear without hurting themselves on the spines. Prickly pear is not on any recommended list of plants safe for rabbits to eat: most people would say it's better to be safe than sorry, and to avoid the prickly pear. If your rabbit likes prickly pear, and you know it doesn't make your rabbit sick, then it's probably okay to give some to your rabbit as a treat. Treats should be strictly limited in a rabbit's diet because too much can lead to a variety of illnesses. A bite or two of fresh treat food daily is more than enough for a normal, healthy 6 pound rabbit. See the related question below for details about a healthy rabbit diet, and helpful links.

Is it ok for rabbits to eat wilted veggies flowers or fruit you mean veggies and fruit that was left out of the fridge for the day Not rotten just wilted veggies and lightly browned fruit?

As long as you have already checked that these items were OK for the rabbit to eat in the first place, then you can offer them to your rabbits even though they are wilted. You might put them in cool water for 30 minutes if you want then to perk up. I raised rabbits for many years, and if the greens weren't OK for the rabbits, they would just scratch them through the wire floor of their cage. They were pretty smart.
