Tomato is a good treat for rabbits, but too much can make it sick. A bite or two of tomato is enough.
If a rabbit eats too much of any kind of treat, it can go into GI stasis, which means the digestive system shuts down. Without help from a vet with rabbit experience, a rabbit in GI stasis will die.
There's two different reasons that treats can lead to GI stasis. One reason is that a sugar spike in the diet can cause gas. Gas is really painful for rabbits, and in response they often hide and stop eating. When they stop eating (for any reason), rabbits go into GI stasis.
Another reason is that all those treats can spoil the rabbit's appetite for hay. Hay is good for rabbits because it's really high in fiber, and really low in sugar, protein, and fat. Fiber keeps the rabbit's digestion moving. If a rabbit doesn't eat enough hay, it can go into GI stasis.

This should be provided into addition to two daily meals of pellets and certain fresh leafy green vegetables.
