Goldfish
Carassius auratus
No—goldfish are not rabbit food. Whether you mean the orange swimmer in the tank or the crunchy snack that shares the name, rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas are built for hay and plants, not fish or salty crackers. Keep the bowl for timothy—your bunny already has better taste than that menu swap.
Guideline: Never Feed
Type: Meats
Other Names: Aquarium goldfish, fancy goldfish, goldfish crackers, goldfish snacks, Carassius auratus

Is Goldfish item toxic?
Goldfish are not a classic plant poison, but fish flesh and salty cracker snacks are the wrong food for rabbits, guinea pigs, and chinchillas. Animal protein, fat, and high salt can disrupt hindgut fermentation and cause gas, diarrhea, or appetite loss. Do not offer any goldfish—or goldfish crackers—as a treat.
Should I feed my pet Goldfish?
No. Do not feed goldfish or goldfish crackers to rabbits, guinea pigs, or chinchillas.
How much can I feed them?
Do not offer goldfish. If your pet ate a noticeable amount of fish or crackers, watch for soft stool, bloating, or reduced appetite and call your veterinarian if symptoms persist.
