  I have some fruits that I really like, and I wanted to share some with my bunnies, but I’m not sure if they can eat the fruits or not.
  I searched them up, but had trouble finding info, or reliable info.
  If anyone knows which ones bunnies can eat, please let me know.
  Thanks!
  
  List of fruits:
  
  -Yellow dragonfruit (very sugary, so I’m a bit concerned, but my brother claims to have given his bunny some)
  -Wax apples
  -Passionfruit
  -Pomegranates
  -Loquats

  Well, bunnies should not have very much fruit at all (even of the safe ones), but a very small amount once or twice a week is OK.
  
  I’m not familiar with wax apples or dragonfruit, but my rescue told me that loquat leaves and twigs are safe for bunnies to chew, so I would guess that a small amount of loquat fruit would be safe. And, if you have a tree near you, your bun might enjoy chewing the twigs.
  
  There is a fair bit of debate over pomegranate, so I would avoid that one.
  
  For the others, since it isn’t known (I don’t see them listed on any “safe” lists), then I would avoid them. Fruits are not a necessary part of a rabbit’s diet, so I wouldn’t risk it. I very rarely give my bunnies fruits. Sometimes a teeny tiny piece of banana, a bite of apple, a piece of strawberry, or a single blue berry.
  
  If you are in the tropics (which is sounds like you might be!), papaya (no seeds) is safe as well.
