Algae is not a recommended food for rabbits, although there isn't much information available about it. Some forms of blue-green algae are known to be toxic to rabbits (see link below). It's possible that a rabbit might eat algae, but that doesn't mean it's safe for them to eat because pet rabbits have lost many of their natural instincts, and will often gladly eat poisonous foods, and wild rabbits have not developed any instincts about foreign foods.

There are so many plants that are safe and healthy for rabbits that most experts advise sticking to what we know is safe. If you do feed your rabbit an unknown plant, always (1) check it on a list of known toxic plants (see the link below), and if it's not on the list then (2) start your rabbit on very, very small portions - just a taste. Do this for a couple of days, then wait a couple of days before trying again - and this time you can increase the portion size slightly. Proceed in this very slow and gradual manner. Pay very close attention to your rabbit's health and be prepared to rush to the vet's if something is wrong.
