Rabbits are not picky about food, so they will eat everything that they are offered. But not every product is good for their body, and some products should be the basis of the diet, while others - a delicacy.
The best delicacy for the animal is fruit. Of these, apples are most often used as an additive to the basic diet of the animal. What is the use of them and is there any harm, we will tell further.
Can ordinary rabbits give apples
Apples - a storehouse of vitamins and minerals that are necessary for good eared health. But not every kind of fruit will benefit the animal body.

Dried
Dried apples can also be eared, but on the condition that they are dried by yourself. In the mass production of dried fruits, special substances are used that prolong the shelf life of the product. These substances will do more harm than good from the fruit. It is still not desirable to give dried fruits after heat treatment. 
Unripe
Green apples are unlikely to please the rabbit, and if he eats them, his sensitive stomach will not be able to digest them. Even a small amount of unripe fruit can cause indigestion due to the large amount of acid.
Did you know? Rabbits have 28 teeth, and when chewing food, their jaws make 120 movements per minute.
Apple cake
If you squeeze the juice out of apples, then you can give the cake to your pet. The stomach is easier to digest the softened fruit. 
Why not feed apples decorative rabbits
Decorative breeds of rabbits apples are contraindicated. They have an even more sensitive digestive system than other breeds. Gentle stomach can not cope with a ripe fruit, nor with the cake.
Feeding rules
Any rabbit will eat the fruit with an appetite. But, unfortunately, they do not know how to control the amount of food consumed, which often leads to overeating, therefore, it is necessary to introduce the product into the diet in doses and gradually, so that there are no problems with the stomach.
Eared owners should know whether it is possible to feed rabbits with wormwood, cherry branches, pumpkin, peas, bread, bran, and corn.
How to enter into the diet
Rabbits can begin to give the pulp from the second month of life. First, offer a tiny piece. If eaten, watch the reaction of the body a couple of days. In the case of normal perception of fruit by animals, gradually increase the proportion of the product in the diet. 
How and how much can be given
The apple menu should be present no more than three times a week. Babies give the fruit twice a week. Before you feed your pet with fruit, it must be thoroughly washed and rinsed with boiling water. Then the apple is peeled and cut into small pieces. Be sure to remove the seeds. The rabbit is fed 30 g of pulp, adult individuals - 50-100 g per day.
Important! Apple cake is given in the same quantity as the pulp.
