What is Dumbledore’s favorite food?

We got FERGAL October 2021. Our last rabbit unexpectedly died in sleep over the summer. We weren't sure we wanted another pet, but one day I just looked on Craigslist to see if we could find a rabbit to rescue. The first link I clicked on had 6 rabbits up for adoption, and as soon as I saw Fergal's picture I knew he was meant to be in our family!

Fergal is an Irish name from a kids' show on PBS that our oldest daughter loved (like 17 years ago?) and my husband and I always liked it. When we saw our new rabbit's picture, we knew he was Fergal. The name apparently means "brave and manly" which is so funny, because this little guy is such a pampered prince and definitely thinks he is the one in charge.

Fergal is a food boy and can barely contain himself when it's time for his pellets. His favorite treat is bananas, followed closely by raspberries, blueberries, endive, rose petals, and fresh sticks from our apple tree.
