As you can see grapes contain a little phosphorus, a hint of calcium, a little acid, a hint of fat but to contain a lot of sugar.

This means that rabbits can eat grapes but only one a week at the most as they are just too sweet to have more than that.

Make sure they are seedless grapes as well, as seed grapes may cause chokage.
