Can Rabbits eat Clementines?

Clementines are a hybrid between a mandarin and a sweet orange, and their exterior is a deep orange colour with a smooth, glossy appearance. They can be separated into 7 to 14 segments and are very easy to peel, like a tangerine, but are almost always seedless when grown commercially.

As you can see Clementines contain a hint of phosphorus, calcium, quite a bit of acidic content,  and are quite sweet.

This means that rabbits can eat clementines but only a few segments a week at the most as they are too sweet to have any more than that. Otherwise they will cause bunnies stomach ache.

Can rabbits eat clementine peel?

Yes they can eat a little of it, but nothing more than that.
