Is banana good or bad for rabbits?
A rabbit’s diet is a pyramid with hay at the base: roughly 80% grass hay, 10–15% leafy greens, and a small daily pellet portion (House Rabbit Society model). Anything outside that pyramid is a treat — and sugar is the enemy of the gut flora that keeps a rabbit alive.
HRS groups all fruit as treat-food: high sugar that can destabilize gut flora. Most rabbits adore banana, which makes overfeeding easy — the "one more slice" problem.
How much banana can a rabbit have?
One thin 1–2 coin slice, once or twice a week maximum. Never daily.
How to serve it
Peel is not a safer alternative — wash or skip it entirely.
