Rabbit with snowdrops
-
This is a picture of part of my garden in when rabbits had free range access to it. The rabbits destroyed most of the plants, so the garden is now occupied by guinea pigs who are less destructive. The netting in the background was put there to protect the ivy that grows over the wall because the rabbits were chewing the stems. The snowdrops come up each year and the rabbits (and now the guinea pigs) leave them alone until the leaves die back when they eat the dried leaves with no ill effect.

Rabbit in buttercups
-
Buttercups are on many lists of poisonous plants because they can contain an irritant that can cause dermatitis in humans that handle buttercups and salivation, oral ulceration and gastrointestinal irritation in animals that eat them. Rabbits can eat small, young leaves that are growing in pastureland without ill effects. The mature leaves, tall plants and flowers are unpalatable, so they do not eat them. There are no reports of buttercup toxicity in rabbits.
