Apple

Malus domestica

Guideline: Sometimes Treats

Type: Fruits

For Your Pet: Rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas tend to love apples. They are crunchy and sweet. Apples are high in sugar and should be feed as a limited treat.

Warning: Apple seeds (pips) and stems are extremely dangerous to small pets. They contain cyanogenic glycosides which are poisonous. Reactions can be as mild as short term diarrhea and digestive distress to death in rare cases. If your pet has ingested a small amount of stem or seed just monitor them closely. If, however, they have eaten many seeds (more than two or three), call your veterinarian immediately.
