Is it okay to feed a rabbit a flower?

Answer 1

One Opinion: No it's not. Rabbit eats fresh vegetables, dried grass and commercial rabbit food.

Another Opinion: There are some flowers that rabbits enjoy eating and that aren't dangerous to give them as a treat (like dandelions), but there are also many other kinds of flowers that are toxic and could make them ill or even kill them. Research carefully before you give any flowers to your rabbit -- or any plants at all, for that matter.

Treats should always be limited. If your rabbit eats too many treats, he won't want to eat enough hay (which he needs lots of every day to maintain healthy digestion and teeth).

Always make sure the plants you give to your rabbit are free from poisons like pesticides. You should also get your rabbit's feces tested annually by your vet to make sure she hasn't ingested any parasites.
