Can rabbits eat nasturtiums?

Yes, rabbits can eat nasturtiums. In the gardening community, nasturtiums are reputed to repel rabbits from your garden because rabbits hate them so much; however, they aren't toxic, and some bunny owners say their bunnies love them! Many flowers can be a nice treat for bunnies, but don't let your rabbit gorge on flowers because they aren't as high fibre as hay. Rabbits should eat lots and lots of hay every day to keep their teeth and digestive system healthy, and if they gorge on flowers, they may "spoil" their appetite.
