Can rabbits eat stinging nettle?
A quick, sourced answer from House Rabbit Society and RWAF guidance, with the why behind it.
Stinging nettle
Safe, enjoyA nutritious wild green, high in fibre, protein and minerals, and a traditional forage favourite. Dried or wilted nettle loses its sting and is easy to handle and eat; most rabbits take to it readily.
How much: A small handful daily as part of the forage mix. Best fed dried or wilted to take the sting off. Use clean, pesticide-free plants.
