<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSo, to finally answer that pressing question, can rabbits eat apples<\/em>? Yes, but in moderation!<\/p>\n\n\n\nRabbits are natural herbivores that require a balanced diet of 85% grass or grass-based hays such as timothy, orchard grass, or Bermuda grass. 10% leafy greens and around 5% of quality pellets to mimic some of the natural vitamins they might not find in captivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, not all plants equally provide the same level of nutritional value. Some can be offered to a rabbit in larger quantities, while others must be monitored to ensure an intestinal upset does not occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it comes to fruits and, more specifically, apples, professional veterinarians came to conclude that regardless of the color or type, apples are an excellent addition to a rabbit’s diet as a treat. However, some might refuse to eat green apples based on their bitter taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apples are rich in fiber and antioxidants, which is why many choose to give a few slices to their rabbits in the hopes of improving gut health while offering a fun form of enrichment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
