📖About Can Rabbits Eat Cherries?
Cherry flesh is safe for rabbits in very small amounts as an occasional treat. However, the pit, stem, and leaves contain cyanogenic glycosides that are toxic. The high sugar content means cherries should be limited to a very small piece once or twice a week at most. Remove the pit completely and wash thoroughly. Organic is preferred.
