Yes, rabbits can eat green apples.
Apples are not toxic to rabbits but their high sugar content makes them more suitable as treats than regular food items. As is the case with any treat, only feed apples in small amounts and make certain that the core of the apple has been removed before serving it to your pet. Otherwise, your rabbit may choke on the core.
Rabbits are not the only animals that can enjoy an apple every once in a while – dogs, cats, and birds can all enjoy this tasty fruit as well. Just be sure to monitor your pet’s reactions after feeding them apples for the first time and make any necessary adjustments to their diet accordingly. Enjoy!

FAQS
Q: I want to feed my rabbit an apple as a treat. Is this OK?
A: Yes, rabbits can eat green apples. Apple seeds contain small amounts of amygdalin, which releases cyanide when ingested. However, the amount of amygdalin in apple seeds is very low and does not pose a risk to rabbits, as they do not chew the seeds thoroughly enough to release the amygdalin.
Q: Can I feed my rabbit applesauce?
A: Applesauce is tasty and nutritious and can be fed to your pet, but it should never replace vegetables or hay in their diet. Also, watch your rabbit’s reaction to applesauce after feeding it for the first time and make any necessary adjustments to their diet.
Q: My rabbit loves apples. Can I give her a piece every day?
A: As with any treat, only feed apples in small amounts and make sure the core of the apple has been removed before serving it to your pet. Too many apples can upset your rabbit’s stomach and cause weight gain.
