Sometimes — with care
Rabbits go wild for banana — which is exactly the problem. It’s one of the sugariest fruits, so a thin slice once or twice a week is the ceiling.
Banana is the rabbit equivalent of chocolate cake: adored, energy-dense, and habit-forming — many rabbits will refuse hay while “negotiating” for banana, and hay refusal is dangerous because constant fibre intake is what keeps rabbit digestion moving. Sugar disrupts cecal fermentation, and bananas pack ~12% sugar plus starch. The peel is technically edible but pesticide-laden unless organic, and not worth it.
A slice the width of a euro coin, 1–2 times a week for an adult rabbit, counted within the total fruit allowance. None for rabbits under 12 weeks, dieting rabbits or any rabbit with gut sensitivity. Pro tip: feed banana from your hand and your rabbit will love you forever — but it won’t respect the hay after.
A sliver of apple rotates well; herbs and carrot tops are the everyday “treats”.
