  What is the treat limit for an adult bunny in one day? Treats like berries, apples, raisins, carrots, etc.

  Like 2 thumb nail sized pieces in my opinion. Very small.

  House Rabbit Society adivses limiting fruits to 1-2 tablespoons per 5 lbs. of body weight. Less for dried fruit.

  I would say no more than 1 teaspoon per day. They may be able to tolerate more than that, but treats are really not a necessary part of their diet so try to limit that aspect. Too much carbs and sugar can make your bun fat and sick (just like humans!). Ophelia does not get treats every day, she gets treats 3-4 days of the week. Either a few small slices of banana, some carrots, or a couple dried cranberries.

  I agree with the above – I very likely over-indulge Panda and Fernando so controlling their treats intake is one of my New Year’s resolutions. I give them mainly Oxbow Simple Rewards baked treats, which are based on timothy hay flour so have a fair amount of fiber in them; nonetheless, the package itself recommends that they should only be given 1-2 of those on any given day. Perhaps, if I broke them in half, that would both reduce their overall daily intake and make the package last longer.
