They will love you forever but also get fat. Apples have a lot of sugar which is not good for a bunny's intestinal track. Feed apple to rabbits only in serious moderation (one small piece a week). Obesity is only one of many possible illnesses that rabbits can suffer from eating too many treats. There are many ways to get your rabbit to love you forever that won't endanger it's health and life (such as a new toy, or a long cuddle, or a supervised trip to a strange or favoured part of the home).

∙ 12y agoRabbits will enjoy eating fruit and feel happy while they do it, but afterwards they may become ill because fruit is high in sugar and not healthy for them. Also, some plants are toxic or particularly bad for rabbits. See the related links/questions below for more information about the rabbit diet.
Some possible side effects of too many sweets include:
- Bacteria in the gut is unbalanced, resulting in painful gas (can lead to GI stasis -- a deadly condition if not treated)
- Lack of appetite for hay (can lead to overgrown teeth and pain, or cecal dysbiosis, both of which can lead to GI stasis)
- Obesity (which is tough on the organs and bones, and can make grooming difficult, leading to skin conditions and infections)

∙ 12y agoYes, apple is good for rabbits to eat, but only in small quantities, and only if the rabbit is also healthy and eating a balanced diet. Your bunny should only eat, at most, the equivalent of a cup or two a day depending on your rabbits weight -- that's for a big rabbit! The House Rabbit Society recommends no more than 2 tablespoons of apple (or other fruit, or sugary veg like carrot) for a 6 pound rabbit. Too many treats can lead to illness in rabbits.
Make sure to remove all seeds, as apple seeds are toxic for rabbits.
Rabbits younger than six or seven months shouldn't eat any fruit or other treats.
When introducing new foods to your rabbit, always start with tiny portions, and watch for signs of ill health (like gas or diarrhea). Wait a few days before trying again. Just because a food is safe for rabbits generally, your individual rabbit could still have a food intolerance or allergy.
