Yes, many rabbits do enjoy celery, although if you are planning on giving them this make sure you cut it into pieces about one inch (2 cm) long. There is some talk that the strings can cause choking in rabbits, so cutting them into short pieces will avoid this concern. Also, only the dark-coloured celery leaves are very healthy for rabbits; the light-coloured leaves and the stalk itself are only good as an occasional treat -- they're low in nutrients and can lead to diarrhea. See the related question below for more info about the rabbit diet.

Yes, rabbits will eat celery pieces. Rabbits are very fond of most green and crunchy veggies such as lettuce and spinach so yes, they can eat celery pieces as a treat.

Celery is low in nutritional value so it should be considered a treat. Rabbits need to eat lots and lots of hay every day to stay healthy; if they eat too many other foods, they won't eat enough hay, and this can lead to illness.

Celery should be cut into pieces, because the strings in celery can lead to dental and digestive problems.

Dark green celery leaves are very healthy for rabbits and can be regularly included in the rabbit's daily "salad." Some Chinese varieties of celery are very leafy and dark green -- these are an ideal option for rabbits, instead of the pale huge stalks that you see in American grocery stores.

Yes they can as they are mammals. They love celery also but i reckon they like celery better.

Dark celery greens are really good for rabbits and can be included in the rotation of daily "salad" greens. Celery itself isn't as good for bunnies but can be offered as an occasional treat. Make sure to cut it into chunks because the long strings can cause problems.

Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable, which means it causes gas in rabbits. Some rabbits are very sensitive to gassy foods and shouldn't eat them at all. The key is to watch your rabbit for her personal reactions to different foods. Some rabbits love broccoli and they are fine to eat it in moderation. (Gas can lead to very serious illness in rabbits).

NO!! Not in ANY amounts. Celery and lettuce are not good for rabbits. Some people say you can feed celery to rabbits in small amounts, but I wouldn't take the risk if I were you.
