The answer is no. Cantaloupe rinds are not safe for rabbits to eat at all, the same way apples seeds are not good for your rabbit.
Rabbits cannot digest fruit and vegetables with large amounts of calcium in them – like cantaloupe rinds. This causes severe health problems that can even kill your rabbit.
If you would like to feed a fresh fruit or vegetable treat to your bunny, many are safe and healthy for bunnies to eat. Some great options include apples, carrots, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Just make sure to wash any fruit or vegetable before giving it to your bunny to avoid giving them a stomachache.
FAQS
1. Why can’t rabbits eat cantaloupe rinds?

2. are there any veggies or fruits rabbits can eat besides apples, carrots, and bananas?
Yes! Some great options include apples, carrots, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Just make sure to wash any fruit or vegetable before giving it to your bunny to avoid giving them a stomachache.
3. Can I give my rabbit a piece of candy instead of a veggie or fruit?
No. Never feed your rabbit candy. Not only does it not help with correctly feeding, but it can also make your rabbit sick or even kill them. Stick to feeding them veggies and fruits and you will be good!
4. How much fruit or veggie should I give my rabbit each day?
There is no set amount of fruit or veggie that every rabbit needs each day. You should watch your rabbit see how much they are eating and adjust the serving size accordingly. Some rabbits may eat more than others, and it is important to make sure they are getting the right amount of nutrition!
5. Can I feed my rabbit apple seeds?
No. Apple seeds contain amygdalin, which releases cyanide when digested, potentially killing your pet! Make sure you cut out any seed containing parts before feeding anything to your bunny.
6. Can I give my rabbit a carrot top instead of an entire carrot?
Not unless you want to potentially make them sick! Carrot tops contain toxic chemicals and should not be given to your bunny. Stick with feeding them whole or baby carrots for a safe and healthy treat!
