Is bell pepper good 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.

Low sugar compared to fruit, crunchy, and rich in vitamin C. Remove seeds and the white pith.

How much bell pepper can a rabbit have?

A few strips within the daily greens allowance.

How to serve it

Red peppers are riper and sweeter — green is the most moderate choice.
