📖About Can Rabbits Eat Cranberries?
Fresh cranberries are safe for rabbits and are actually lower in sugar than most fruits, making them one of the better fruit treat options. However, they are very tart, and many rabbits will not eat them voluntarily. If your rabbit does enjoy them, 2-3 cranberries a few times a week is appropriate. Sweetened dried cranberries should be avoided due to added sugar.
