Safe herbs, garden plants, and wildflowers for rabbits and rodents

Why offer plants instead of just concentrated nutritional pellets and hay with a side of romaine?

Diversity in diet is always the best. Not only does it aid in enrichment for rabbits and rodents, which in itself is the top reason why forage should be offered, but offering a varied diet means all nutritional needs are met, which is especially important if following a pellet-free or low-pellet, species-appropriate and balanced diet.

We as humans have taken wild beings and manipulated their DNA through selective breeding to suit our aesthetics and our desires, be it for medical research or lopped ears, and to convenience ourselves, we develop low quality foodstuffs that meet limited nutritional baselines and nothing else. But in the end you can’t take the rabbit out of the rabbit. We are doing a disservice to them by limiting what they eat, outside strict medical necessity. Offering seasonal forage provides mental and physical enrichment, which the average house rabbit and rodent typically do not receive enough of. It promotes good health by mixing and matching different qualities in plants for a fully packed nutritional profile, and the medicinal perks (such as helping with digestion or good liver function).

Don't know if a plant is safe for a bunloaf to eat? For two decades we at bunloaf.com have seen the phrase, “if in doubt, leave it out” in regards to giving plants and flowers to our companion animals. We take issue with it! Knowledge should be sought after. Especially in a time with such abundant and easy access to a wealth of knowledge, in hundreds of languages, if you don’t know if that plant growing in your backyard is edible, you should feel empowered to figure it out! “I don’t know” shouldn’t be the final answer.

CLICK HERE TO JUMP TO THE LIST OF SAFE PLANTS

This list, as well as our safe houseplant list, is just the start of that empowerment we hope to build with rabbit and rodent caregivers everywhere.

This list shouldn’t be taken as “I should feed this and all of this at all times”. This list is a jumping off point for you, as a caregiver to rabbits and rodents, to use to build a quality life for them. A reference point to look at and help you collect knowledge to build a rich life for your companions.

Fruit is listed as safe for many of these items, but fruit is junk food to a rabbit and many rodents. So it is safe for a healthy rabbit to consume, yes, and can be offered sparingly as a treat, some more so than others. But it is just as OK to never offer fruit to them as well. Same goes for many plants which are high in oxalic acid. These plants are safe for healthy rabbits to eat, but should be given as less than 10% of their diet due to how high levels of oxalic acid in the body can negatively affect them. Cooking these items usually lowers oxalic acid, but for a rabbit and rodent you would want to give them food that is raw, fresh or dried, rendering that method useless.

Use your best judgment regarding the rabbits and rodents (and birds) you care for, their requirements, their health, what is available around you, what they already eat, and seasonal suitability.

Always consult an experienced exotics veterinarian with any questions about, and prior, to herb use. Rabbits on any medications may have adverse reactions to certain plants.

Below is a noncomprehensive list of plants, from the most common garden herbs to the most unrecognized wildflower, that are safe for consumption by rabbits, many rodents, and many birds.

When foraging, the most important thing is accurate identification. There are many plants that look similar to others, and while some mimicking plants may all be safe for consumption, others can cause minor to severe reactions, including death. For example, you wouldn’t want to give poison hemlock (Conium maculatum) after confusing it with the edible Queen Anne’s lace (Daucus carota) or cow parsley (Anthriscus sylvestris).

There are many incredibly helpful books, websites, and phone apps that can aid in identification both at home and in the field. Many communities may also offer classes for plant identification and foraging tips.

When harvesting plants, ensure they are

⦿ Grown away from streets and active vehicle use

⦿ Not treated with pesticides, herbicides

⦿ Not grown on unhealthy land, such as land or ponds that receives runoff from a gas station, car wash, concentrated animal feeding operation, helipad or airport, or grown on brownfield land which may be contaminated

⦿ Healthy plants, not rotting, yellowing/browning, wilting, or showing signs of illness, and not hosting an infestation of insects or other tiny animals

⦿ Leaves that have not started to change color due to seasonal changes

⦿ Not in a high-traffic area where the ground may be saturated with road salt, or where dogs or other creatures frequently relieve themselves

Ensure you have authorization to forage on the property in which you are harvesting from. In other words, we are not responsible if you get in trouble for trespassing.

If you are interested in foraging but don’t know where to begin, purchase a plant identification book about flora native to your area, and wander around outside with it, looking up every plant you see. After a while of exposing yourself to the plants that grow around you, you will begin to be able to identify plants with ease.

There are a few websites and apps that can help with instant identification. We have a list of them compiled here. Plant identification apps are not 100% accurate, you may still need to do a bit of research to fully, accurately identify a plant, however the app may give a kicking off point to narrow down a species. They work better on very common and well-known plant species and gardened plants versus most wildflowers and grasses.
