It depends on your rabbits stomach. You just have to be sensible in what you give them... common sense is always good! Obviously don't feed your rabbit chocolate or anything chocolaty as that is not good for any animal. You can tell usually what is good for your rabbits because if there poos become runny then it is messing up their insides and this isn't good because it would get stuck to theire bottom and flies would be attracted and lay their eggs causing maggots (not nice).

Answer 2

Most of the fruits that should be avoided entirely for rabbits are the same ones that humans shouldn't eat: holly berries, for example. See the related link below about toxic plants for more info.

Other fruits are dangerous for rabbits not because of the fruit, but because of other parts of the plant. For example: cherry itself is okay, but the pits/stones, leaves, stems, and twigs are not safe for the rabbit to eat. See the related link below about toxic plants for more info.

Even healthy fruits should be limited in a rabbit's diet. Too many fruits can make a rabbit ill. See the related question below to find out more about a good rabbit diet.

One person writes: You shouldn't feed your rabbit any watery fruits or vegetables as this can give them wet-tail. They really like broccoli and cauliflower for vegetables.

-- Another person comments: Wet-tail is something hamsters get, not rabbits, but watery fruits and vegetables can give a rabbit loose or mushy stool (diarrhea). Broccoli and cauliflower are indicated in gas (which can be life-threatening in rabbits), so if your rabbit likes these foods you can give them as treats but no more than that. The greens from these plants, though, are healthy for rabbits and safe.

Answer 3

Believe it or not, CARROTS can kill a rabbit if you feed him/her too many. But grapes are the worst. Both of these foods have wayyyyy too much sugar for rabbits. I have two pet rabbits, and my girl one is the non-picky one. I can only give her a few grapes and/or carrot peelings a week for her health's sake.

Answer 4

Foods that are poisonous to rabbits include chocolate, avocado, highly processed foods, and plants from the nightshade family (e.g. tomatoes, potatoes). It is important to avoid feeding these foods to rabbits as they can be harmful to their health.
