Can rabbits eat coltsfoot?

Q: Can rabbits eat coltsfoot?

Coltsfoot is safe for rabbits as an occasional treat. A traditional foraging green listed among safe plants. It is kept to occasional small amounts because it naturally contains a little of the same liver-stressing compound family as comfrey, so it is fine now and then but not as a daily staple.

Coltsfoot

Okay sometimes

A traditional foraging green listed among safe plants. It is kept to occasional small amounts because it naturally contains a little of the same liver-stressing compound family as comfrey, so it is fine now and then but not as a daily staple.

How much: Small amounts now and then in a varied forage mix, not daily. Use correctly identified, pesticide-free plants. If unsure, skip it; there are plenty of lower-risk greens.

Guidance varies on this one, so please check with your exotic vet for your rabbit.
