I know most of you are probably anti-rabbit on here but I need some clever minds to help me figure out which plants are NON-toxic to pet bunnies please!?
I know things like bulbs, euphorbia and foxgloves are very poisonous but iI have a pretty established garden and don't want to kill everything off!
Anyone know about hebes? hydrangea? escalonia? geranium? viola? wallflowers?
Also, I have just bought a marguerite and a campanula to plant. Are these safe? and where would they be happy to be planted? I live near the sea and have quite heavy soil (I think). I'm also thinking of getting lavendar and sage coz I know they are safe. What else would be good? Have just dug out to big euphorbia so need something nice and low maintainence to fill the gaps. Any ideas welcome!!
No, I don't particularly want to feed them live plants (although they're great for getting rid of weeds and brambles!) I just want to continue to create a lovely garden without everything being completely destroyed at the same time as making sure that if they do accidently have a nibble then the plants are safe and they won't be poisoned.
I thought that there would definately be people on here who are much more knowledgeable about plants than me! So far I know things like lavendar and sage are safe but also not particularly appetising so will survive but I would like to know about the plants I already have so I don't need to pull them up!
Caveat emptier: when rabbits are hungry enough, they'll eat just about anything! To protect your plants, keep your bunnies well fed.

Rabbits do NOT instinctively know what's edible and what isn't. They return to their burrows to die. Why don't you check your facts before posting inaccuracies.
