Can rabbits eat rose petals and leaves?

A quick, sourced answer from House Rabbit Society and RWAF guidance, with the why behind it.

Rose petals and leaves

Okay sometimes

Both petals and leaves are safe and a source of vitamins. Always choose pesticide-free roses; florist roses are almost always treated with chemicals.

How much: A few pesticide-free petals or leaves a few times a week.
