The whole rabbits and carrots thing literally started with Bugs Bunny… and the reason why he munches on a carrot was originally a reference to a 1934 Clark Gable film where Clark’s character is cracking wise and munching on a huge carrot. Audiences loved it. The animators wanted that to be a reference. But it stuck as a trait for Bugs.
Rabbits really can’t eat carrots all of the time because the high sugar content can lead to metabolic disease. Buggs Bunny steered everyone wrong.

There is a difference between eating only carrots as your diet and avoiding carrots in your meal because of their carbs content.
I said nothing about only eating carrots. They’re supposed to be an occasional treat, not a regular food source.
