Catalpa "beans" are actually seed pods. Generally speaking, seeds are rich in protein and fat, so they aren't healthy for rabbits.

Catalpa isn't listed on any of the poisonous plants for rabbits list, but it isn't on anyone's recommended plants lists, either (see related links below, for example).

Most experts would recommended staying away from unknown plants, and just giving your rabbit plants that you know are safe. But, if you're going to give catalpa to your rabbit anyway, then be smart about it:

Generally speaking, leaves and twigs are healthy for rabbits on a regular basis, but legumes, seeds, beans, etc. are not healthy and should only be given as an occasional treat, if at all. See the related question below for more info and helpful links about a healthy rabbit diet.

Whenever you give your rabbit a new kind of food, start with just a tiny amount, like a bite or two, and for the next two days watch your rabbit closely for any signs of ill-health. Be ready to bring your rabbit to the vet if something goes wrong, and don't give the rabbit any other new foods at this time so that you'll know what made her sick, if she gets sick. If your rabbit is fine after a few days, you can try increasing the portion size, but keep watching for signs of sickness.

Do rabbits eat chickpeas?

The chickpea is technically just a type of bean, also commonly known as garbanzo bean or Indian pea. Both wild and domestic rabbits are very fond of a variety of peas and beans, as any person who's had their garden plot decimated by rabbits can tell you! So there's no reason why a hungry rabbit wouldn't eat chickpeas as well.

Do rabbits eat juniper?

First answer: Yes.More information: Different species of rabbits don't always eat the same plants. Pet rabbits can't necessarily eat what the wild rabbits eat where you live.There is disagreement about whether juniper is safe for pet rabbits. See related links below. Some sources say that juniper is a safe plant for rabbits to eat (including MediRabbit). Other sources say it isn't -- juniper is listed on both of the standard dangerous plants lists (HRS and Rabbit Advocates). 3 Bunnies Rabbit Rescue lists juniper under "Minor Toxicities."Digestive upset is very painful for rabbits, and can be very serious, even causing death. To avoid suffering and a costly vet visit, you might choose to stay on the safe side and avoid any foods that are controversial.If your rabbit gets sick, you need to go to a vet right away, one that has experience and training in treating rabbits specifically. See the related questions below for more information and helpful links.

Is it safe to smoke marijuana around rabbits?

They cannot eat the leaves of the plant, but they can eat the flower (aka Bud) and the stems. Rabbits eat marijuana in the wild. I wouldn't feed rabbits marijuana as domestic rabbits are nothing like wild rabbits, they have evolved differently. http://www.adoptarabbit.com/articles/toxic.html


Can rabbits eat runner beans?

Yes, rabbits can eat runner beans as long as they don't eat too many. Runner beans and other green edible bean pods (like snow peas) are usually fine for rabbits as a small occasional treat (like one small bean pod, or half of a big one, for a normal, healthy 6 pound rabbit). Beans are generally high in proteins, starches, and/or fats, and these aren't healthy for rabbits. Too many bean pods will make a rabbit sick. Some people recommend avoiding beans entirely and not feeding any to your rabbit because they're just not healthy (including runner beans). See the related question below for more details and helpful links about a healthy rabbit diet.
