Can rabbits eat currants?

Only a little

Currants are berries, and the House Rabbit Society lists berries of any type as a treat. Berries are high in sugar, though, and should be fed only very sparingly (University of Zurich Animal Hospital).

How to serve it: washed, just a few berries

Good to know: This means fresh red or black currants, not dried currants. RWAF lists the currant plant among garden and wild plants, and PDSA lists blackcurrant leaves among safe plants to forage.

Questions

Can rabbits eat currants every day?

No, only now and then and in small amounts.
