Yes, rabbits can eat bell peppers as a treat. You should cut the main fleshy part of the pepper into small pieces. Adult rabbits can eat one tablespoon of bell peppers for every two pounds of their body weight. Since it’s so sugary, your rabbit should only have a bell pepper treat once or twice a week.

Rabbits can eat all colors of bell peppers as a tasty treat. This includes red, green, orange, yellow, and more! You can grow them at home, or pick them up from grocery stores, or farmers markets.

Always make sure that you give the bell peppers a good wash to clean off any chemicals or pesticides before giving them to your rabbit. You also need to remove the seeds, stems, and cores.

Fun fact: The color of the bell pepper indicates when it was picked. It’s green if it’s immature, red is fully grown, and orange is a different species of plant.
