A brown and white rabbit holds and bites a red apple, with eyes wide open. Background is blurred, giving a cozy, earthy feel.

Yes, rabbits can eat apples — but only occasionally and in small slices. Apples are sweet and packed with nutrients, but the high sugar content makes them a treat, not a regular snack.


✅ Benefits:

  • Contains vitamin C and antioxidants

  • A tasty treat for enrichment

  • Helps with hydration due to water content


⚠️ Risks:

  • High in natural sugars, which can upset digestion

  • Apple seeds contain cyanide and are toxic


🥄 How Much to Feed:

  • 1–2 thin slices (no seeds or core), once a week

  • Best as an occasional treat, not part of the daily diet


🚫 Avoid:

  • Feeding seeds, stems, or core

  • Giving to rabbits prone to weight gain or digestive issues
