Okay to feed pears to rabbits?

I have a pear tree that the squirrels have had their way with and there are hundreds of immature pears (pearlings?) on the ground. Would these be okay to feed to my meat rabbits (in small portions)? I do give them bits of apple almost daily but these pears aren't ripe, so I wouldn't want to eat them. Then again, I wouldn't want to eat alfalfa hay either, so there's that.
 
Strangely enough, for the last couple of mornings I've had about a half a dozen tiny wild cottontail rabbit kits that can't be more than two weeks old feasting on my fallen pears. I doubt their digestive systems is as delicate as a domestic rabbit's is, but it is funny to see wild rabbits 30 feet away from my cages and neither seems to be aware the other is there.
