Is it okay for my pet rabbit to have pears and nectarines as a treat?

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Bunnies can get lots of leafy greens (kale, lettuce, bok choy, broccoli), and other treats like carrots, apples, banana, oranges, mandarins, grapes . 75% should be hay, 20% should be greens, and 5% should be treats. Best of luck with your rabbit.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! For the most part, pelleted feeds should have feeding directions on the bag according to your pets weight. It is impossible to say exactly how much should be fed without seeing the food. However, most pelleted diets can be fed freely to rabbits that are young and active. In terms of treats, I recommend one fruit or veggie treat per day, about 1/8-1/4 cup total depending on the food. For example, berries and more dense foods should be given as smaller servings while leafy greens can be given in larger amounts. Your bunny should always have plenty of fresh hay and water available as well. I hope this helps and am happy to answer any other questions you have!

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is important to make sure that there is no other reason for Egg to be losing or not gaining weight such as issues with his teeth or chronic hair balls. He should be eating mostly a pellet diet that you can find in pet stores as well as free access to hay. As far as additional treats, there are various treats sold in stores. Fruits and veggies should be offered in small amounts. You can try carrots, green beans, green leafy veggies, apples, pineapples, and bananas. I recommend staying away from fruits with seeds. I hope this helps!

Hi Jaime! There are a lot of fruits and veggies that are safe for rabbits. Leafy greens, like kale, parsley, and cilantro should make up the bulk of their non-pellet, non-hay treats, but fruits in moderation can be great for them, too. Bits of apple, strawberry, pear, papaya, mango, banana, and apricots are good choices. Make sure that they are washed well, and that they don't encompass more than 5-10% of your rabbits' diet. Avoid avocado, all seeds and pits, and wild fruits and veggies. Good luck!

What a cute bunny! Lola should not really eat peanuts or their shells - peanuts are pretty high in fat and may disturb her intestinal motility. They are not necessarily toxic to rabbits, but not an ideal choice for a treat. There are plenty of other options for treats, many of which are readily available in pet stores. Lola can have things like carrots, green beans, small amounts of fruits such as pineapples and apples, and plenty of hay.

Watermelon - yes, but thin slices only without seeds and only as an occasional treat Carrots - yes, but they are high in calcium and should only be given sparingly Lettuce - yes, but only romaine or dark leaf (no iceberg lettuce and no cabbage) Apples - yes, but remove the seeds and only small amounts as a treat due to the sugar content Bananas - yes occasionally in very small amounts, rabbits do not need all the carbs

Apricots are safe for bunnies to eat, as long as Mimi did not eat the stone of the apricot. If she die eat that, then she will have to see a vet immediately as it can cause serious problems. I hope this helps!
