  Are pumpkin seeds a safe treat for bunnies? I know they’re probably high in fat, but otherwise are they okay to feed?

  I would avoid seeds of any kind. A small piece of fruit or carrot is much healthier.

  I don’t think they are necessarily “harmful”, but they are extremely fattening. Fruit is a better option.

  Pumpkin seeds hulls (and all seed hulls) are hard to digest and can cause gut issues in many animals. Hulled, they are just high in fat and other things bunnies don’t really need.
  
  Give them dehydrated cranberries or apples or banana instead.

  Yes, Stickerbunny is right about the seed hulls. That part can be harmful.
