Grapes are a favorite snack for many of us, and if you are eating some right now it likely has you thinking if it’s safe to share with your rabbit. Well, I am happy to tell you that rabbits can eat grapes, and it’s a wonderful treat for them.
Don’t just take my word for it though. I put the question to the test and found a small grape in the fridge. I gave it to my pet Mabel (an English lop), and she ate it right up. Watch the video below and you will see that rabbits can, and happily do, eat grapes.

How Often Can I Feed My Rabbit Grapes?
We do not suggest sharing very much though! Grapes are very sweet and too much can give your bunnies runny poops or cecotropes. Half of a grape (or a small grape) is the perfect size.
While rabbits can eat grapes, they should be offered sparingly (a few small pieces per week at most). Grapes contain a lot of sugar which can cause health problems for a rabbit if consumed in large quantities.
Are Grapes Safe for Rabbits?
Yes, grapes are safe in moderation. All types of grapes are fine to share with rabbits, including red, green, concord, chardonnay, and others.
While grapes are not the most nutritious fruit, they keep your bunny hydrated and contain vitamin C, B6, and potassium.
We also suggest that you always remove any seeds before feeding grapes to your rabbit.
It’s Grape to Share Your Grapes
If the grapes you’re snacking on are hitting and you want to share it with your furry friend, go ahead. Just give them one small piece, and they can enjoy the trip to Flavortown with you.

Hi Everyone! My name is Ryan and I have had pet rabbits by my side since I was a teenager. My love for the lil’ critters has grown over the years, and I now also volunteer at a local rabbit shelter and have become a true all-around friend to bunnies.
When I am not taking care of bunnies I am often watching videos of them on Instagram, or reading about their adventures online.
Read my About Us page to learn a bit more about me, my current bunny, and the rabbit shelter I support! (that’s where the beautiful bunny in the photo is from).
