Best Answer

The leaves, vines, and stems of the tomato plant are poisonous to rabbits. The fruit of the tomato plant is not poisonous, but it's not very healthy, either -- if your rabbit happens to like it, and your rabbit is healthy, it's probably okay as a treat every once in awhile, but most rabbits would prefer a bite of carrot or apple.

See the related questions/links below for more info about the rabbit diet.

More about poisonous plants: The seeds of apples and Pears and the pits of apricots contain cyanide and are poisonous to rabbits and should always be removed before given to your pet. Other poisonous foods include avocado, and the eyes of potatoes and eggplant and tomato plant.
