Rabbit's will not stop themselves from eating any thing. Rabbit's like eating everything especially bitter foods. In most cases they will cut the plant trunk and carry the whole plant away to their holes or hutches. The best way to not get them to you plants is to lock them up completely or to make a fence to protect your plant. I repeat, the will eat almost anything! :-/

Rabbits eat all sorts of plants, like greens, carrots, and many others. Wild rabbits eat mostly grasses and leaves, also some twigs, flowers, and the occasional vegetable, fruit, or grain. Pet rabbits eat mostly hay (dried grass), leafy green vegetables, and the occasional non-leafy vegetable or fruit; also they eat pellets. See the related questions below for more details and links.

The flowering plants that rabbits normally do not eat are Mexican heather, also known as vinca, and spices such as dark purple sage. Rabbits nevertheless try to eat just about anything, including bromeliads and cacti.

They might not eat onions and corn leaves, because they're not good for them, but that won't keep them away. Rabbits aren't going to stay away from your garden because of a plant. There are all kinds of pesticides and other methods to keep them out.

Rabbits eat broccoli leaves. Wash the leaves first. If the rabbit you have small rip the cabbage into smaller pieces.

It is a common misconception that rabbits are harmful to the plants they eat. A rabbit is a grazer. They will simply eat a few leaves and move on, leaving the root system intact. I some places their may be a seeming over abundance of rabbits, but this problem tends to right itself overtime. If the rabbits eat the plants before the plants grow back then the lack of food will cause the population to decline until the number of rabbits is compatible with the number of plants available to eat. It is not necessary to trap and remove the rabbits as long as there is patience involved.
