Can rabbits eat avocados and tomatoes?

No, rabbits should not eat avocados or tomatoes.

* Avocados: Avocados contain a toxin called persin, which is poisonous to rabbits. Even small amounts can cause serious health problems, including vomiting, diarrhea, and even death.

* Tomatoes: Tomatoes contain solanine, a glycoalkaloid that can be toxic to rabbits. While ripe tomatoes are less toxic than green ones, it's best to err on the side of caution and avoid feeding tomatoes to rabbits altogether.

Safe Alternatives:

* Hay: Timothy hay is the most important part of a rabbit's diet.

* Fresh Vegetables: Offer a variety of safe vegetables, such as romaine lettuce, parsley, and cilantro in moderation.

* Fresh Herbs: Safe herbs for rabbits include basil, cilantro, and parsley.

Always consult with a veterinarian or a qualified rabbit expert before making any changes to your rabbit's diet.
