Stone Fruit
Prunus persica
Stone fruit flesh is at most an occasional treat for some rabbits—and only without pits, stems, or leaves. Peaches, plums, cherries, and apricots are sugary; a rabbit gut prefers hay and plain vegetables.
Never confuse the soft fruit with the pit: pits are toxic and a choking risk. If you are not willing to pit fruit carefully, do not share it.
Guideline: Sometimes Treats
Type: Fruits
Other Names: Peaches, plums, cherries, apricots (flesh only—pits separate)

Is Stone Fruit item toxic?
Ripe stone fruit flesh is sugary and not toxic in the same way as pits, but sugar and soft fruit can upset rabbit digestion. Pits and stems must never be offered.
Should I feed my pet Stone Fruit?
Only as a rare treat—a tiny bite of flesh with no pit, stem, or leaf—for rabbits if your vet approves fruit at all. Guinea pigs and chinchillas usually need stricter limits.
How much can I feed them?
Think thumbnail-sized or smaller, not daily. Remove pits completely, wash fruit, and watch droppings afterward. When in doubt, skip fruit and offer a safe leafy green instead.
