can domestic rabbits eat strawberries, cantalope, grapes

In very small quantities, they can eat the fruits you mentioned, but it is not a good idea as it gives them the runs if they eat too much. A little taste of an apple here and there is also ok. Dandelion leaves are not a fruit, but are also very good for rabbits. But like any other fruits or vegetables, keep them in infrequent and small (thumb size) portions.
Stick with a good packaged food that is made for rabbits. That is always the best bet.

Rabbits can eat certain fruits such as strawberries but the like the tops better and apple slice. no cantalope or watermelon the rhine is deadly but be careful to only give them a small amount because it can upset their digestive system. Make their poop runny etc. Any celery and carrots are wonderful for rabbits but be sure that they are room temp and not right out of the fridge it can aggitate their sensitive teeth.

Some people have no idea what they are talking about.
I have had a pet rabbit for almost a year and he is very healthy and well taken care of.
Rabbits are supposed to have two-four cups of fresh vegetables and fruits daily.
Apples and broccoli are my rabbits favorites so he gets those more than anything but he gets LOTS of variety.

My rabbits loved apples and some of them liked banana peelings too. Also, some liked watermelon rinds.

no. rabbits cannot eat any fruits, only vegetables. something about the acids in their stomaches cannot digest fruit for some reason.

Keep with apples. They are less messy. Rabbits like things that crunch!

grapes, strawberries, anything sweet is OK but not bitter or sour they will have a bad reaction to the acid base foods you'll see it in their droppings.
