Rabbit friendly plants?

Ruth13Ruth13 Posts: 3

does anyone know where I can get a good list?  Not rabbit PROOF! I have two free ranging bunnies, but a plantless garden because I'm afraid of poisoning them!!  Garden looking soulless tho.  I would show you a pic if I could work out how to upload one!!  Thanks!

    Hi Ruth, this is one to do in reverse, avoid plants known to be harmful to bunnies.

    My garden's got lots of plants from that list but the (wild) rabbits seem to thrive! I think it's a bit on the "playing-it-safe" side, I guess rabbits avoid many poisonous plants. They never touch Aquilegia, for example.

    Hi Ruth, my daughter had a bunny when she was younger and I grew a patch of clover and dandelions for him to nibble on where his run was. They also need plenty of fresh hay to eat every day.

    I seem to remember reading that lettuce is not good for them especially iceberg.

    Thanks!  A friend has suggested willow.  I thought that was a tree!! Heading to garden centre!!

    It is a tree, be very careful where you plant it. There are many different varieties, not many suitable for small gardens.
