Sugary fruits such as bananas and grapes should be used only sparingly, as occasional treats. Bunnies have a sweet tooth and if left to their own devices will devour sugary foods to the exclusion of healthful ones.What can and can't rabbits eat (rabbit owners only please)?
here are some websites... but do keep in mind all foods other than it's basic dies should be limited, otherwise you will have an obese bunny.








bandannas, carrots, grapes... are also favorites.
Rabbits for their main food source should be eating a high quality grain pellet that you can find at your local feed and seed store. I wouldn't reccomend anything from the grocery store. For treats my rabbits love bananas, carrots, kale, and yogurt drops that can also be found at a feed store. Goodluck!
Rabbits should always have hay/alfalfa available to them, and should make up 75-80% of their diet,


Pellets; good grain food supply for them,


Greens are optional,


Veggies, Fruits, and rabbit treats,


and thats about all they need!
