A seedless bite of flesh can be an occasional treat.

Recommended amount

Offer only a small treat-sized portion, not every day.

Suitable rabbit age

Best considered only after a young rabbit is established on hay and its normal diet; introduce one new food at a time.

Preparation

Wash well, identify correctly, serve plain and raw unless the guide specifically says otherwise, and introduce gradually.

⚠️

Parts or forms to avoid

Remove seeds and rind; avoid large watery servings.
