  As far as I know, it’s OK to give a rabbit a little bit of tomato, just like any fruit. But the foliage from tomatoes is poisonous to them. I would really just avoid giving tomatoes in general. You can give small pieces of other sweet fruit that he’d probably perfer more as a treat.

  I agree, your bun would probably do better with some leafy greens or a piece of grape or strawberry as a treat.

  Tomatoes are listed as acceptable by MediRabbit, with the disclaimer “should be limited because of the high sugar and oxalate content”. It appears that this is a treat food, use it sparingly.

  I would remove seeds too if you give them as a treat.

  I have never given Luey tomato, but remember tomato is a fruit so probably has a high sugar content too.
