I spoil all my animals big time (not in an unhealthy way though) so I am always buying different treats and stuff for them. His favorite are the blueberry snacks on the right side of the photo but I found these two others that I think he might enjoy. Problem is neither say it's for rabbits, but it was right next to the blueberry ones.

Whether he enjoys them or not, is it okay to give him the two left ones?20200409_102103.jpg
 
I completely agree with Apollo's Slave! Rabbits should not have store-bought treats because they are full of sugar, and have lots of other horrible ingredients in them. Yogurt is also bad for rabbits. I found the ingredients to the Berry Blend Yo Chips and the Strawberry Yo Chips and their first two ingredients are Maltodextrins and Dextrose (see the first picture). I then found the ingredients for the Drops with orange and the first ingredient was sugar (see the second picture).

We have given our rabbit fresh fruit many many times but he pushes it to the back of his cage and never touches it again. The only fresh item he will eat is carrots, but he loves his treats.
 
Have you tried banana? Rabbits don't need treats, it is just a thing humans like to give their rabbits. I would stop giving him those treats you are buying and offer him a strawberry, 2-3 grapes, or tbs of banana once a day. He will eventually take it, and if he doesn't it won't hurt him. It will actually do him good to not be getting sugar.

Rabbits are notorious for having a sweet tooth. They love sugary foods but don't know what is bad for them. That's the reason we are supposed to limit their pellet amount too.

Carrots are often considered treats as well and should be limited like any treat. Next time you try offering fresh fruit, be sure it is just a small amount and given by hand. He may be pushing it aside because he's waiting for the store bought junk treat. It may take him awhile to realize he isn't getting those anymore. You could try dried fruit as well.

Nope , i would NOT give bun any of them.
 
My bunnies like dried carrot , also i make them homemade treats!

The only store bought treats they really get are these fruit cushion treats , they are really healthy and i always make sure to read the ingredients .

I feed mine , human grade dried fruit , watermelon is their favourite , so is apple and chewy banana .
You could try some dried fruit , see if they like it .

You can get it at most supermarkets , i get mine at tesco , or atleast the dried watermelon .

I hop-e your buns are okay!
