Fruits are the best treats - that is, instead of the commercial treats that are sky high in carbs and sugar. A couple slices of apple a day is fine - though, gradually add it in to the diet. With apples, never feed the stem, core, or seeds since all are poisonous to rabbits. Some other fruit that are okay for rabbits and are healthy are:

-Strawberries
-Blueberries
-Raisins
-Grapes
-Bananas
-Mangos
-Melons
-Pineapples
-Papayas
-Peaches
-Pears
-Raspberries
-Plums
-Oranges (remove peel and seeds)

The general rule of thumb is to limit fruits to 1-2 tablespoons per 5 lbs. of body weight.
