                    Thanks!


Answer
Albino rabbits have the same needs and likes as any other colour of rabbit. You can feed a little watermelon, but limit it as it is high in sugar content. Too much sugar is not good for rabbits, and it can be fattening as well.

Remember to feed fresh foods in moderation until you are sure the rabbit can handle them, at which point fresh foods can become a decent part of the daily diet. Also keep in mind that fruit is actually quite high in sugar, which is converted into calories. If those calories are not burned off, they turn into fat. Be sure to wash all fresh foods thoroughly, and if they are gathered in the wild, avoid gathering in areas that have been sprayed for weeds/insects or that are near high volumes of traffic.
