What garden plants are safe for my rabbits?

I want to make my garden safe for my 2 rabbits and would like to put in plants that my rabbits can safely eat

What garden plants are safe for my rabbits?
There are some VERY poisonous flowering plants, and be certain - bunnies will eat them, they don't know how to tell the good from the bad.



For a start, ALL flowers that grow from bulbs are HIGHLY poisonous - daffodils, tulips, ALL Spring bulbs can kill a rabbit, and kill a human too if you eat them, believe it or not! So best to avoid bulbs.



Some safe plants that are fine to have around bunnies, and around human babies incidentally too, are nasturtiums, pansies, roses (mind the thorns though!). As you can see, most human-baby-safe edible plants are also safe for bunnies.



I've reproduced a list of bunny-safe plants and flowers, and poisonous plants and flowers, on my site at

http://au.geocities.com/leaswebsite/bunn...

for lists of safe and dangerous foods and plants, from the excellent "Rabbitlopaedia" by Meg Brown and Virginia Richardson.



Have a read of these great detailed rabbit sites too -

Reply:They don't eat what's poisonous for them, I think it's the smell or instincts or something. But trust me, the little sods have been eating my vegetable garden for years!
