If you're getting a rabbit, you'll need to pay close attention to the sort of plants you have in your home and yard. Many popular plants are toxic to bunnies!
Some of the more dangerous ones include azaleas, philodendrons, rhododendrons, daffodils, poppies, bluebells, hemlock, lily of the valley, hemlock, juniper, and wisteria. Many holiday plants, such as holly, ivy, yew, and mistletoe, are also unsafe, as are most hardwoods.
There are some things your rabbit can safely nibble on, as long as they have not been treated with chemical fertilizers or pesticides. This includes dandelions, yarrow, clover, fruit trees, willow, and hazel. Many herbs, such as parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme, are also fine. If giving your bunny fruit trees, make sure they have been cleaned and disinfected.
If you have trouble identifying plants, play it safe, and offer your bunny things you know aren't dangerous.
Ask your veterinarian Lexington, KY for more information on safe and unsafe plants for rabbits.
